You can avoid that content by not watching the video or visiting places where videos like that appear.

That is the exact thing that children get told when they are being bullied. "Stay away from them, ignore them, just don't read it online." It doesn't work

I have never been on TikTok or Instagram. I don't have an account on Reddit or Facebook and hardly visit them unless it's someone referring me to a post. If you run an adblocker you don't see ads 99% of the time. You can visit numerous news sites and other journals without seeing anything but the quality content. You can even view YouTube without seeing ads or clicking on garbage videos. It's not hard to avoid garbage on the net. No one is forcing you to participate in places where it's common.

My point is that exactly. The "Darwin Award" variety IS a facetious form of social Darwinism. It's not related to the science of evolution, it's using the principles of natural selection for social commentary.

> It's not related to the science of evolution Yes, it is, at least to the extent that intelligence and common sense are selected for, and their opposites are selected against, in our current selective environment.

If there's anything in the literature describing the increase in "common sense" among Homo sapiens due to evolutionary pressures, I'd love to read it.

I don't need strangers to pay for my groceries either, but I think if they did (assuming it wasn't for a social media stunt) I'd accept it gracefully and try to pay it forward somehow. Maybe offer to pay for the next person, or use the money I'd have spent to buy those prepared bags for food pantries some shops offer. It's feels good to genuinely do something nice for another person and I wouldn't want to take that f…

The issue is the social media bit. Someone paid for my groceries without filming it then yeah I'd just pay for the next persons.

Probably best to decline politely if you don't need it.

I've wanted to pay sometimes for people - but didn't have the courage... shame.
