Criticism: the whole premise of the programme seems to be about creating (contriving) predictable controversy who's reach is subsequently extended through derivative 'reaction video' http://trigg.gr/tag/PhenomnReactionVideo social media hype for example, if you search for the following string "Jubilee IQ ranking reaction" through the YouTube search: https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=Jubilee+IQ+ranking+reaction the primary response to this episode seems to be a 'pile on' https://www.dictionary.com/browse/pile-on http://trigg.gr/tag/PowerControlMicrofascismBullyingPileOn of hostile responses - seemingly, where the video serves exploitatively through both the provocation of affective exchanges ('affective economies') and through the wilful misrepresentation of the programme's guests. Simon: In context with this, it would be worth reflecting on the fact that such 'microaggression' https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microaggression online tends to be one-sided (Awad, M. N. and E. H. Connors, 2023). For example, how coincidental is it that the contestant - Maria - whose heritage is (presumably) Middle Eastern/Asian was most vilified, and that in doing so, her detractors seem to delight in her humiliation as type of 'schadenfreude'? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Schadenfreude For example, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9ByI9WeXp9g&t=40s Further: http://trigg.gr/t/92617 https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=surrounded+jubilee https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Surrounded_(web_series) Bibliography: Awad, M.
