Don't do this, to get noticed...
How you doing? The most probable answer to this would be getting bored. Almost everyone is getting bored and missing their old days when they used to roam around the streets, eating momos, panipuri and pizzas. But some people have other option that is thinking about their career and getting depressed. Jokes apart, some people are developing real skills unlike us, finding new ways to complete the sleep. So me being jobless scrolling and sharing memes and completing web series with 7 assignment remaining was getting tired so thought to write something useful for other jobless people, yeah you got it right, it's for you. Grammar Nazis, please forgive me, it’s my first time. Please have a big heart.
So another day I was scrolling through Instagram and saw a post which forced me to think. I generally don’t think, yeah brain issues. So the post says corona is just a harmful virus in other countries while for India it is a topic of religious debate. And that’s quite true. I don’t wanna blame anyone for that. But that brings the opportunity for the so-called losers. There are always two sides of any trending issue. The right one and the left, sorry wrong ones. To get noticed you need to be on the wrong side because the number of people there is generally less. And then comes controversy. That’s the only thing you need to create. A statement or Act in support of the wrong people and there you go, some overenthusiastic people will start abusing you or supporting you and will make you noticeable overnight. For an overpopulating country like India you will always get your enough audience. So if you are a struggling person in any field just create controversy and boom you are popular. In India some paid sponsored peaceful are always on protest throughout the year on different issues, you just have to give sympathy and support to them, just oppose on every decision of national benefit and your work is done. Rest of the work will be done by the media and idiots. That’s the cheapest way to get publicity. Because if you try to get publicity in the right way, you need to spend a lot of your earnings. You also need to support your nation and donate to the needy ones. Recently a nation lover actor had donated a huge amount for India without any such intention. The publicity he got by this was earned by a senseless actress just by questioning on that, she didn’t have to spend a single rupee for it. They just have to do is forming some baseless illogical question, and some useless people will start promoting that. You can also oppose the one working for the country during a hard time. Instead support the one making chaos and spreading disease because the people supporting that minority will be less as they are doing anti-national activities by some hidden donations. Thus you get a chance to be a villain among a huge audience. And some role is better than no role. You can also give statements hurting religious sentiments or by showing placards of being ashamed of your country hence creating a bad impact of your country amongst the world.
It is said there’s nothing like negative publicity, publicity needs to be there it can be any. But these lines are proved wrong sometimes when you don’t know when to turn back. We see a lot many examples around. The TV stars creating controversy on random shows are the best examples. This thing may have no effect or definitely a positive effect on ones who don’t have a proper talent or no hope to grow. For them it will definitely work. But if you are already a bit popular and not struggling you shouldn’t go for it. Few months back few actresses tried this trick for publicity. They went to one of the so-called peaceful and anti-national protests to support them. One of them was a superstar and was having a film release nearby. But the people are getting clever day by day, they boycotted her film. And by this negative publicity she lost a huge audience which would have been her if she would not have tried this stunt. Other hopeless actresses didn’t face any difficulty because they weren’t having any work either. She might get some after that incidence. Some standup comedians too tried their luck creating controversy. A moderately good standup comedian tried this trick at the time of election and opposed the PM by strongly abusing. In India PM is god to few so they started abusing back that guy and make him noticeable overnight. He got fame. If he would be still doing comedy shows without any such political joke, Very few people would even know him, but presently he is the face of such brainless people. Looking at his huge success, a lot many standup comedians started using this trick and started opposing decisions of national interest. They started supporting the people burning country and as usual, started getting noticed. They thought they will also find a place to stand higher than the crowd. But the graph started recessing now. For some it worked but for some it didn’t. People get to know their true face and rejected them from their actual profession too. Still some of them are at the platform higher or equal to what they would be. But some really got beaten their ass up. But then I learned, it’s we the people who make them popular. So I got some important suggestions, can we stop giving them importance and let them get the benefit of such controversy. Let us decide whom to make our idol, the ones supporting the nation or the one increasing nation's difficulty.
Btw if you believe personal benefit over the nation’s benefit it’s the best way to be popular. But if you have some kind of self-respect don’t try these ways. Believe in your talent and stay away from negative publicity. Stay safe Stay home.
