I remember that phrase. People would do strange things to be seen for a whole six seconds on the Vine App. Adults videoed their kids twerking, neck rolling, "acting grown," you name it. Adults were just as silly.
Since the Vine App launched in 2013, people and their antics have only grown worse. Even putting innocent lives on the line seems to be acceptable, as long as it is posted, shared, snapped, tweeted or "lived" to get "influencer-level" likes or follows. What are people thinking? Well, maybe that's it: people are not thinking. They are not considering the risks, dangers, long-term effects or consequences of getting a photo just right, at just the right angle, with the dangerous jungle animal..whatever. And even more devastating: no one is holding anyone accountable. After all, someone has to be filming. But how far is too far in order to be insta-famous on social media?
Apparently, a woman was trying to see just that and went way too far, having her entire insane actions recorded on IG. Check her out: Woman Throws Chair/s Over Balcony.
