I was initially intrigued by this article because it had the title, “Fortnite” in it. Fortnite is all the rage in middle school, if I don’t hear the name or read it in essays fifty times a day then I don’t hear or see it at all. The scientist that was dismayed with her sons “fortnite” post garnered more views than her scientific post could possibly be attributed to people not wanting to read or hear about things that aren’t pleasant. Most people turn to the internet to escape reality, and her post is too real. Who wants to deal with the truth when it’s ugly and you play a role in making it that way? I also think that most people viewed the idea of watching her webinar as work. After viewing her webinar then most would likely feel obligated to do something about climate change, which would mean work on their part. This line of thinking reminds me of reading the comments under Instagram posts, and seeing some commenters post the comment, “I’m only here for the comments”. This likely means that they are only reading the comments of others for the entertainment value of it.
