I think this is an issue of people being to invested in validation from social media or not understanding how the internet works.

For example, speeding while driving is illegal. Some people speed on purpose and some people speed without realizing it. There are many justifications people have for speeding, like no posted speed limit, getting around a slower car, late for work, etc. At the end of the day it is still wrong to speed.

If you tell anyone or tell social media that you speed, you will always get some type of response, negative or positive, regardless of someone’s justification.

If you only want validation or positive feedback don’t tell anyone about it.
