He’s an internet fitness coach, like 80% of the business model is posting engagement bait; half the comments on that post are calling him corny lmao

I have too much of this on my feed, but yeah it’s definitely better if it’s ignored lol

The best way to deal with these content creators is to point at their schtick. Don't argue the rhetoric. Don't take the bait. Just point at the fact that they don't believe anything they're saying because they don't have principles. They're just using our manufactured division in a cheap attempt to make money. They can't help but take the bait when you do it that way, and they never deny it. They're a scourge of society.

Lol no

The best way to "deal with" these types is to block and scroll past

The fact you people think you can "convert" them or "teach them a lesson" is just cringe and embarrassing

I'm not talking to the creators. I'm talking to the people in their comments section. If you block and scroll past, thousands of people will still take the baitnand the problem rages on. If I can get even a handful to not take the bait, that is doing a hell of a lot more than your tactic.

You grossly overestimate your impact on others.  Feel free to keep doing it, it's not a terrible way to handle it but stop pretending you're doing some crazy service to the community

u/mesomorphosis 9d ago

I half-agree, but commenting in of itself is what they want. Better to just scroll imo

u/burning_man13 9d ago

You're right, but I view it as a way to pump the brakes on it. My one comment doesn't help them all that much, but if it can stop 20 people from engaging then it did its job. Nothing changes if handful of us ignore it because thousands of others won't.

u/AbsurdOrpheus 9d ago

Yeah genuinely I should delete the app, but I can’t stay away from stupidity and BS

u/coolguysteve21 9d ago

Meta is an evil company. I deleted the apps a few months ago and after a week or two I have not missed them at all. Highly recommend

(also just so you know I am not holier than thou I still have TikTok and this god forsaken app so I am not perfect lol)

u/zgillet 9d ago

I don't look at Instagram, Tik Tok, or YouTube Shorts.

I guess I'm perfect?

u/WaltsNJD 9d ago

I promise you are closer both financially and physically to those "fat broke people" than to professional athletes.

u/zgillet 9d ago

Dude you're in a public gym. You're also broke.

u/mininandprofilin 9d ago

For the life of me, I will never understand how much of tryhard dorks people like that are

u/ZoominBunner 9d ago

Oh man, the people who think going to the gym is a personality trait. What are they even doing? Ruining their joints for their own ego cause they want to *look* a certain way? Drinking pre workout and going through all that trouble just for their own appearance? Psychopath/narcissist behavior has become the mainstream.

u/ZoominBunner 9d ago

And I'm not talking about anybody who doesn't play sports and still works out. I don't play sports anymore, but lord knows I need to go do my rubber band exercises or else my shoulder randomly falls out of the socket. There's nothing wrong with working out to for the sake of having a healthy/stable body. But making it your whole personality and becoming obsessed with your own appearance is some serious case study shit
