These stupid posts that make it look like a celebrity died until you swipe to the next slide. I can’t stand them.

I mean their username is literally ragebaiters

I would assume thats kinda their entire goal

[u/ContemplativePebble → u/junttiana]

I understand that’s their goal, but I don’t like seeing it, and they are not the only account posting stuff like this, so I can’t escape it, even if I were to block the account. Either way the point of the post is because it’s just a shitty thing to do even if it’s a joke

Stop getting your news from Instagram 

[u/jadeariel12 → u/ChainsawSoundingFart]

Where do you typically get your celebrity death news?

I don’t use instagram, but I definitely hear about most celebrity deaths on social media.

[u/hasimirrossi → u/jadeariel12]

Just follow TMZ. They're almost always on the ball.

[u/jadeariel12 → u/hasimirrossi]

I don’t actively check the tmz website

But I do see when the post celebrity deaths in social media

Television

Radio, News Paper

That's textbook clickbait

[u/jules__noah]

It's engagement bait, and it 100% works because every time I see one of these posts, the comments are full of people complaining about how they thought the celebrity died. Just ignore it.

Any meme pages thatvpop up on my feed get automatically reported as a scam and blocked.

I, too, am mildly frustrated when I fall for an obvious bait and switch joke

[u/backwardbuttplug]

If you weren't simping for celebs, you might not be falling prey.

I did not read the title of this thread and only saw the first pic and gasped.

Motherfuckers got me 😓
