Wow, this really hit home for me!! I don't think we ever think about this. I never realized how much I expect the internet to cater to my whims until reading this. It's true that we often demand explanations or react negatively when we don't understand something, instead of just moving on. The point about POC creators bearing the brunt of this entitlement is so importantβIβve seen it happen too, and itβs a reminder to be more respectful and mindful in my interactions. Iβve been guilty of not using search engines when I donβt get a reference, and I can see now how thatβs part of the problem. This essay made me think about my own behavior online and how I can contribute to a healthier, more respectful space. Thank you for this eye-opener.
