Most people choose to judge others because it's far easier than actually thinking and understand others, more importantly it helps them see the world what they see fit, boost their own self-esteem, and feel a false sense of control.
My initial idea to create funny content for Instagram was rejected because it wasn't engaging and no one responded. Now, with a new employee managing TikTok, my employer gave me funny content ideas and said, "This is better." It hurts, haha.
My dad then said. "That's wrong. Your grade is only average because you didn't attend your teacher paid class so he scored you lower. You are smarter than me when I was your age."
Even worse. Most of them see success and only see talent. They never see hard work.
And it showed. They can choose to put in more effort in becoming a good writer but they choose to sabotage other because they don't want to work hard.
Because it isn't cringe.

You get into trending twice they mass-reported your story as a "translation."
