With the rising popularity of short videos and live broadcasting, users are seeking online fame by uploading footage of themselves taking part in either funny or strange activities, for the sole purpose of attracting attention and gaining more followers.
And many hosts have come up with many weird ideas!!
In a short video that’s being widely shared on Chinese social media these few days, a live stream host tried to eat a live octopus and unfortunately, the octopus gripped her face tightly. Scary…
The woman then realized she was in trouble. She cried as she slowly pulled tentacles away from her eyelid, nose, and mouth.
But her cheek was bleeding.
Actually, the live octopus is considered a delicacy in South Korea.
But people usually enjoy the dish by cutting into smaller pieces.
Ummm, people who attempt to swallow the creature whole tend to do it for a thrill (or the camera).
Sensationalism seems to be the ‘short cut to fame’ now. Many people want to be famous, have lots of fans and earn easy money.
There surely are benefits from being active on live broadcasting platforms and short video apps, allowing users to record and share their lives with friends and others.
But please, be mindful of your own safety and that of others.
