We live in a time where pushing a coconut into your head or dancing on a running train isn’t a mental illness — it’s a content strategy.
Welcome to 2025, where intelligence is optional, but virality is compulsory. You don’t need a degree to be famous. You just need a ring light, a weird laugh, and zero shame.
Let’s dive into the economics of idiocy — a masterclass in monetizing madness.
🎬 Chapter 1: Content Creation or Darwin Test?
Once upon a time, “content creator” meant filmmaker, poet, or vlogger.
Today? It means:
- Screaming at strangers for no reason
- Licking batteries to “test voltage”
- Crying dramatically because your goldfish unfollowed you
The dumber, louder, and weirder — the more likely you’ll end up on someone’s Explore page with a “🔥Must watch before sleeping” comment.
🧠 Chapter 2: Why Dumb = Views
It’s not an accident. It’s algorithm science.
Smart Video | Dumb Video |
---|---|
Explains budget 2025 | Guy eats 6 green chillies shirtless |
Teaches stock market tips | Woman screams “STOCKS GONE!!” in traffic |
Breaks down news satire | Uncle in saree doing Garba on highway |
Guess who wins? Exactly. Because social media doesn’t reward knowledge.
It rewards attention — any kind.
🤳 Chapter 3: Who’s Watching This?
Let’s meet the audience:
- 🧒 12-year-olds who think everything is “sigma”
- 🧓 Aunties who forward reels with “Nice beta”
- 🧠 Adults with zero attention span and five reels open at once
- 💼 Managers at work saying “just one reel” during lunch break (still watching at 3 PM)
Remember: the bar is so low, you can dance over it in flip-flops.
📈 Chapter 4: The ROI of Brain Rot
Here’s why creators are happy to lose IQ for views:
Action | Reward |
---|---|
Slap brother on camera | 10 million views + brand collab |
Eat Maggi with Nutella | ₹20K promo from spice company |
Make up fake relationship drama | ₹5 lakh/month in Adsense & PR deals |
Fall off bike while singing | Instant follower spike & sympathy DM |
So yes — society is laughing, but the creator is cashing out.
📉 Chapter 5: But What’s the Cost?
- Mental health? What mental health?
- Public embarrassment? Temporary.
- Social credibility? Irrelevant.
Creators live by a new mantra:
“Be viral now. Be regretful later.”
The worst part?
Dumb is scalable. Anyone can do it. And everyone eventually will.
💡 EduInvesting Advice (Yes, We Still Have Standards)
We’re not against content.
We’re against content that makes you lose brain cells faster than crypto scams.
So here’s what you do:
Want to Go Viral But Stay Sane? | Try This Instead |
---|---|
Be funny, not fake | Satire > Screeching |
Be weird, not brain-dead | Quirky > Dangerous |
Be real, not reckless | Relatable > Risky |
Use your platform to entertain without turning into a circus monkey.
📢 Final Verdict: Will Dumb Win Forever?
Sadly, yes — at least until the algorithm grows a conscience.
Until then:
- 📉 Intelligence will trend down
- 📈 Dumbness will keep rising like Nifty after an RBI cut
- 📲 Every train, mall, and petrol pump will become a content studio
But if you can keep your content funny, clever, and a bit mad — without being stupid,
you’ll stand out in the noise.
🧠 Bonus Thought:
The internet used to be a tool for knowledge.
Now it’s a racetrack for people chasing 15 seconds of stupidity.
Be better. Or at least, be strategically dumb.
