that’s sort of my point though? it’s a thing which went viral in a space that you occupy. you assume that space is broadly representative: it’s surprising for you to encounter a person who didn’t see the thing you saw. but the reality is that no matter how large your online space feels to you, it’s only ever single-digit percentages of the people actually around you.
it’s more obvious when i frame it this way: would your parents (grandparents, uncle, nephew, …) have a clue what “man vs bear” is about?

I mean I also saw it on typical TV news networks, which I don’t frequent. This rabbit hole just devolves into the death of objective reality.
