Olodo uprising
<p><strong>Are We Really Rewarding Ignorance or Authenticity?</strong></p><p>Personally, I don't think what we are seeing on social media is necessarily an “Olodo uprising.”</p><p>Most times, the people getting the most attention are not necessarily uneducated or unintelligent. They have simply understood social media and, most importantly, they understand what attracts people's attention.</p><p>You see someone come online acting like they don't know anything, saying things in a certain way or behaving like an “Olodo,” and people immediately assume that this is who the person really is.</p><p>But social media is not always a true reflection of who you are.</p><p>Some people have studied their audience. They know what makes people laugh. They know what people will comment on, share and talk about. So they simply give the audience what they want.</p><p>And if that brings them attention, followers and eventually money, why wouldn't they do it?</p><p>To me, that doesn't mean they are actually ignorant. In fact, some of these people may understand social media better than the people calling them “Olodos.”</p><p>I'm not saying everyone doing this is secretly educated. That's not my point. My point is that we shouldn't mistake the character someone plays online for who they actually are.</p><p>Maybe we are not rewarding ignorance.</p><p>Maybe we are rewarding people who have simply figured out what works.</p><p>And honestly, in today's social media space, knowing what works and knowing how to turn people's attention into something valuable is also a form of intelligence.</p>
