lots of thoughts about previous reblog since it's like. if making it into a popularity contest is what gets people to do the good thing, then so be it. the whole point is to get the good thing to happen, regardless of people's intentions.
but on the other hand, once it becomes a popularity contest, people may end up focusing on the popularity side of things and do stuff that don't do much good (or even actively cause harm!)
the fate of anything that becomes popular is to be diluted and twisted and misunderstood. this includes: the audience focusing on the person who got popular, instead of the good thing being done; big capitalism getting in on the trend and selling things in a way that's antithetical to the cause (think junk journal kits and other upcycling kits).
#sol speaks#popularity is not good for any topic with extremely nuanced info - wc is nearly all of them#as its absolutely going to be diluted and misinterpreted#but [simple action] for [easily understood cause] type of stuff - go hog wild#go volunteer to clean up the streets or rivers or parks
