Shut up about dead internet theory

Shut up about dead internet theory. People saw one youtube video on dead internet theory and suddenly think they’re the thinker. Every time someone sees a slightly dumb comment that may have potentially be perceived as something a bot could have made some goofball feels the need to say “dead internet theory 🤓” like they’re some sort of genius.

Like you didn’t even know about dead internet theory last week but now you think you’re some smart guy for saying it? More than likely it’s just some kid on their mom’s account making some superfluous comment with a little about of substance. Especially on some sites like YouTube shorts where most people engaging are kids. Dumb comments have always just been dumb comments but suddenly because dead internet theory became a buzzword any dumb comments are suddenly proof that everyone on the internet is bots. I’ll probably stop caring about it once people move on to the next buzzword but it’s just annoying me right now.
