There’s a difference between kind of internally not being interested, which is totally fine, and going online to mock “friends” as you pretend to care.

The format also contributes to a pretty patronizing tone.

Fair enough. It’s hard to anticipate how people will take it because the creator is blinded by whatever tone they originally envisioned. In this case I suppose it doesn’t come across as light-hearted as I intended.

All true as well. Either way no big deal, have a good one!
