So I was digging into that case of the barista in Boise who got piled on over a TikTok clip, and the numbers floored me. Her first apology video pulled around 2 million views while the clip that started it all sat under 50k, so way more people watched her cry than ever saw what she actually did. That tells me the pile-on crowd mostly shows up for the takedown, not the facts. Is that just how it works now, the mob outnumbers the audience for the original thing every time?
