Can be from fandoms, local acquaintances, niche community forums, social media bubbles, whatever. What’s a big to-do going on that you just don’t care about?

    I don’t engage in any of these public figure personal dramas because I don’t want to give them any more attention. Those kind of posts will always have activity because people want a distraction from their own lives and it’s low-hanging fruit; it doesn’t require any specialized knowledge, only an emotional reaction. Even commenting to say you’re sick of hearing about it or don’t know who the subjects are drives engagement and visibility.
