Outbursts (Freewrite Challenge)

As we noticed, it seems everything is going mad. So many outbursts on social media regarding what's happening in this world. They're uncontrollable. The sad part is the media seems adding fuel to the fire which they started. Manipulations are made easy, and people fall prey to their antics. Unnoticeably, minds are conditioned easily with what they see on TV, social media, newspapers, and the likes.

Social media outbursts aren't totally organic. PR agencies often control them for the advantage of their clients to target a person, someone prominent, through their invented hashtags. Even social media influencers and fictional accounts admitted to being used by PR agents because of their huge followings.

When a certain hashtags will become trending, people's curiosity will take them to the discussion, and easily got influenced by the posts, whether it's factual or not. Troll farms are operating, both sides, left or right, or black or white, accuse each other of operating groups of trolls. Everyone are blinded by hatred, and express anger without contemplating first.

Things are getting worse, and someone is happy on what's happening. At times, I feel like it's better to stay away from those issues on social media, rather opt for something comic, which will give me laughter.
