While the #binod trend has gone viral, the ferocity has really made me think, are youngsters incapable of understanding where to comment and when to comment? Is this a larger flaw of the country's mentality? - a thread

As the #binod trend unfolded, I have seen people comment 'BINOD' on posts, tweets, Instagram lives and even on YouTube chats. However, I have been surprised by how desperately the people commenting want to

1. Either be noticed

2. Disrupt what is happening

When it comes to a medium like YouTube premiere chats, when people genuinely ask us questions, I wonder. What is the motive of typing this? Is that a way to get noticed? Congratulations. You've been noticed. What next?

And the more I think about it, the more it keeps hitting me. Is this indicative of the shrinking attention spans of people? Does this show that people have no sense of what to talk? It definitely shows an utter disregard for what is happening.

I completely understand the 'vinod' in this BINOD trend, but beyond a point, I have to think. Are we becoming so incapable of having a conversation that we need to type garbage to feel validated? It is baffling and frankly, a little scary.

I worry about some soft skills that haven't reached many of the youngsters, respect for other people chatting in a YouTube chat for example. And also the lost art of having a conversation. In the name of virality, are we forgetting the very skills that can help us grow?

I also worry about this constant need for validation, this hunger that jumping on a bandwagon will be productive and will help improve "image". This is a vicious circle, basing your self esteem on irritating multiple people is not the best way to grow in life, don't you think?
