Hit 50,000 followers on a post about my dead cat's tail twitching in a video
Completely blew up over nothing. My cat got hit by a car three years ago, and I found an old clip of her tail moving while she slept. Threw it up on a whim at 2 AM. Woke up to 12,000 notifications. Now I can't post a normal thing without people asking "where's the tail cat?" I didn't ask for this. Has anyone else gotten stuck with one random post defining them forever?

@oliviagrant and I had the same thing happen with a dumb photo of my dog eating a shoe. What worked for me was just leaning into it and making a separate page for that stuff so my main feed stayed normal. Eventually people moved on when they saw I wasn't playing along with the whole thing.

Read some article about this kind of thing happening a lot lately.

Read some article" - ok but which one? Like was it a news site or some random blog? I swear half the stuff I see lately is just clickbait with no real sources. I keep seeing these stories but nobody ever names the actual publications or authors. Makes me wonder if its just bots recycling the same script. Did the article you saw mention specific examples or was it all vague like "some cases have been reported"?
