Just want to start this off by saying there are a lot more serious things going on in the world today than memes. But, as everyone always has, and everyone will continue to do, the internet will be used as, at times, a necessary escape when we’ve just had a bit too much of the bad and the ugly. Not counting the inevitable doom scrolling amongst the miserable, of course. So, let’s get into it.
It’s always complicated as a social media manager/director/anyone who works in digital to decide whether or not to post or take the day off. My professional advice on that is to just do what you can do to offend or put off the most people as possible. Know your audience. If you’re a popular comedian, you can likely let it fly. If you’re not? Probably not.
Examples:
The Cringiest Post of All-Time? — Many are saying so. We are dealing with an absolute HISTORIC ratio here. 35k (and growing) quote tweets and 10k+ (and growing) replies. If you are going to decide to dive in and create social content out of a…war…this is…not the way to do it. Best bet is to just…avoid.
A wise tweeter once said…
Although it DID give us this gold from my former coworker (and veteran) Kate
But if you’re going to say something…see Druski, a comedian.
Moral of the story, almost always when you’re online, is to just stay away if you’re unsure. Weigh the risk and reward, a single meme (or, er, poem) is almost never worth it.
Not really trying to go much further into it than that today.
Sometimes the best thing you can do online is absolutely nothing.
I leave you with this:
