Social media accounts that I find completely bizarre

Came across one today where a woman was clearly grieving the death of someone.

Quickly realised the person who had passed was her teenage daughters boyfriend, who passed 16 months ago.

This lady is frequently posting how her daughter will always love him, asking for prayers for her daughter, how she herself will always love him, how she misses him, etc. Lots of #grief #trauma tagging, proverbs and attempts at offering guidance and healing advice. The daughter has posted barely anything along the same lines.

There's no doubt that it is tragic that he passed, but I found it so very weird.

Then another one just now. A guy posting various videos of himself saying "if you need someone to eat with, I'm here", eating his dinner, nodding and simpering at the camera for all of about 6 seconds. Or that's he's there to listen, with his vulnerable mug holding and cosy blanket, again for mere seconds.

I know that I can hide these accounts, and I do, but I think I needed to vent about them.

What are the weirdest SM accounts that you've come across?

Where are these accounts?

I don't come across any as I don't have social media for about 6 years and my life is much simpler and happier for it.

I love Katie Hopkins account. The daily Batshit Bonkers Britain update is awesome 😂

They're on Instagram.

I stopped using Facebook a while back and definitely felt better for it, and I've never really used Twitter. I went to IG because I was told it was more light-hearted, and I don't really follow many "real people" on there, or anything too serious, political, etc. But when a weird one comes through, I find myself own a rabbit hole and realise it's just another level of crazy.
