What are some small, random things that annoy you to no end?

If that’s the case, I think it’s reflective of a growing trend in society that I’m not too keen on.

Recently, a 25-year-old British woman threw a milkshake at Nigel Farage, a controversial politician in the UK. Naturally, this lady was praised for her actions by people who disliked Farage, and denounced by people who liked Farage, or dislike political violence.

But I never went around making a fool of myself in public and ruining other people’s days. This whole “any attention is good attention” mentality needs to go.

Meet Victoria Thomas-Bowen. Apparently she’s a “model” and a “content creator” on a website called “OnlyFans”.

For those of you who don’t know, that basically means that this girl is a cross between an Instagram model and an adult film star.

There’s this certain kind of attention-seeking behaviour that I’ve been seeing more and more recently. It’s a very specific kind, and I hate it.

Naturally, tabloid media instantly wanted to find out who the milkshake-thrower was, and she made herself very easy to find.

To some extent, I get it. I spent my early teenage years trying to make it on YouTube. I only really gave up when my Quora started taking off.

And I just find it so performative the way that she’s responded to the media attention. Every statement that she puts out publicly seems to link to her “content”. Even if her negative views of Nigel Farage are sincere, I suspect that this was a publicity stunt designed to get more people to look at her ‘content’.

A few weeks ago, a “portal” was opened between New York and Dublin, which would basically stream live video between the portals in both cities.

And it feels like everywhere I go, someone is filming a TikTok, trying to be the next big thing.

I absolutely hate these disruptive public acts that attention-seeking people are doing in order to promote their online “ventures”. It’s sending a bad message when these people get the attention they want for disruptive behaviour.

But that’s not what I’m here to talk about. I’m here to talk about the young woman who threw the milkshake, and some potential ulterior motives she may have had for her public outburst.

But it had to be shut down, because of another “content creator” flashing the camera, and trying to use the sensationalist media attention to promote her “OnlyFans” page.

That same women had previously gone viral in 2020, for posting videos of herself licking airplane toilet seats, when Covid was at its height.
