In today’s world, the trend of following suit has become more and more common, especially with the rise of social media. For instance, many YouTubers follow trending topics to catch people’s eye and increase their number of views. Instead of coming up with creative ideas, they often focus on copying what is already popular. This phenomenon can result in content that lacks variety. While it is natural for people to fear missing out on the latest trends, it isn’t good to follow suit and do the exact same things.
在當今世界,跟風的趨勢變得愈來愈普遍,尤其是隨著社群媒體的興起。例如,許多 YouTuber 跟著做熱門主題以吸引人們的關注並增加觀看次數。他們不發想有創意的點子,而是時常專注於複製已經流行的東西。這種現象可能會導致內容缺乏多樣性。雖然人們害怕錯過最新趨勢是很自然的,但跟風做一模一樣的事情並不好。
