Every day, somebody says or does something that earns them the scorn of the internet. Here at Digg, as part of our mission to curate what the internet is talking about right now, we rounded up the main characters on X from this past week and held them accountable for their actions.



This week, we've got


friday

@yslj0rdiee

The character: @yslj0rdiee, X user, bad at texting

The plot: Last week, an X user by the handle @yslj0rdiee shared screenshots of three unsuccessful text conversations with three different girls. In each, the girls politely let him know that they aren't romantically interested.

"What am I doing wrong man," his tweet reads.


The repercussion: Some people in the replies offered @yslj0rdiee sincere advice, some reassured him that the girls simply didn't appreciate what a nice guy he was โ€” but a whole bunch of others made it very clear that they thought he was the issue.

Joe Biden

The character: Joseph Robinette Biden Jr, noted Delawarean politician, CAA's newest "talent"

The plot: As you may know, Joe Biden wasn't just a US Senator from Delaware โ€” he served as both the Vice President and President of the United States of America. His political gig ended abruptly recently, so he's having a late-in-life career change by signing with a Hollywood talent agency.

The repercussion: While he was also signed to Creative Artists Agency during the gap between his VP term and his Presidential term, this go-round is getting a lot of side-eye. The nation is going through a lot right now, and "who's gonna play Biden in a biopic?" or "what's his next book going to be called?" aren't questions at the top of our minds.

Sahil Bloom

The character: Sahil Bloom, entrepreneur, well-intentioned poster

The plot: Recently, Bloom shared a post aimed at inspiring his followers to stop worrying about other people's opinions and pursue their dreams.

"Nobody is thinking about you," the graphic read. "You aren't afraid of failure. You're afraid of what other people will think of you if you fail. Well, no one is thinking about you. They're too busy thinking about themselves. So go do the damn thing."


The repercussion: It was nice of Bloom to try and encourage us all, but he should know by now that X is the least suitable platform for this kind of sincere inspo content. It didn't take long before users were sharing examples of times they definitely were thinking about something a stranger had done, or times they'd done something embarrassing that other people noticed.

Sunday

Krysta fauria

The character: Krysta fauria, Associated Press reporter, Chappell Roan fan, impulsive interviewer

The plot: During an Associated Press Grammy's livestream this year, reporters Krysta fauria and Leslie Ambriz were interviewing Babyface, a 12-time Grammy winner, when fauria interrupted their chat to get Chappell Roan's attention. This didn't amuse Babyface, and he promptly ended the interview. "You guys want to take that?" he asked. "Go do that then."

The backlash was almost instant, and no one attempted to understand or excuse the reporter's behavior โ€” everyone thought it was completely out of line.


The repercussion: The Associated Press and its reporters have since apologized for the interaction, but not before the incident spread all over the internet and made news headlines. On socials, everyone โ€” fans and musicians from all generations โ€” were surprised to see Babyface receive this kind of treatment. following the backlash, the reporter involved has since deactivated her X account.


Read the previous edition of our One Main Character column, which featured someone asking about life at 25, a hot take on dogs in public spaces and a controversial tweet about birth control.

    the stuff from X is all garbage posting, try and keep your standards up and stop highlighting the naXi site.

  4. Jeremy Walker 3 days ago

    Why do you keep posting this junk from a nazi site? Switch to Blue Sky like everyone else in America with a brain.

    1. Martin Samson 3 days ago

      I logged in (urgh) especially to agree. Please ditch Nazi garbage.

        Snap! Never posted but using X directly supports an evil entity.
