If his goal was attention then he failed utterly as the other kid got the credit permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] WesternInfidels@feddit.online 1 point 6 months ago (1 child) Even when we say "This guy is an asshat and we should all ignore him," we are giving the asshat some attention, which was his goal all along. It's actually not possible to arrange a coordinated response that doesn't give the asshat what he wants, because a coordinated response requires many people to understand the identity and nature of the asshat. Which is what he wants. That's what I mean by "the tragedy of the attention economy." permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] untorquer@lemmy.world 1 point 6 months ago (1 child) Idk man, i forgot his name since i commented.
