The larger the impact of the information you are sharing, the more clicks and follows you will get.

People trying to become content creators quickly realize that pointing out a 30cm rock headed towards Earth gets no money, err, attention. So they drop the 30cm part, call it a massive chunk of rock that will rip through the atmosphere, and suddenly they are getting much more money, sorry, attention.

This is what makes social media so depraved, any idiot who makes a good word salad can profit from being an idiot.
