The phrase “one user wrote” is often used to introduce a quote. One user wrote this, one wrote that, and another wrote that. Yeah, the generalisation from a single forum thread / few social media posts to “the whole of internet is crazy about this!” is crap, but media sensationalism has always been there. Media (and especially media about pop culture) has always been shit.
I mean, when you have a few thousand two-bit internet media sites surviving off advertisement spam and hiring any freelance writer that can put together three paragraphs for $5 that’s what our media becomes.
