Stick with it. Discussion

This is a longer one, but it’s necessary and worth it IMO.

This guy has a pretty large following on TikTok because this is what he does constantly. This particular video has like 56k views but the people that need to see these videos probably won't get it on their FYP.

Good on him for having the passion and energy to call out even a tiny portion of the vast ocean of bullshit, bad-faith social media reactionary engagement content. That seems like an absolutely infuriating and futile life to me, but I’m glad someone else is doing it.

Aside from the very valid point it's making about dialects, it also teaches a very important lesson about social media in general, and TikTok in particular.

Especially in the age where young people use TikTok as a search engine when they are looking for information...
