Imagine doing something super dangerous just to get more likes and followers on social media. Sounds wild, right? Sadly, that’s exactly what happened to Lewis Stevenson, a 26-year-old thrill-seeker who tried to climb Spain’s tallest bridge without a harness — just for views. He fell 630 feet to his death, and the video was being filmed by his friend.
This is a hard truth about social media: sometimes it makes people feel like they have to do crazy things to stand out. With so many people online, the pressure to go viral can push some people into taking risks they wouldn’t normally take. But the thing is — your life is worth way more than any amount of likes, views, or followers.
Social media can be fun and creative, but it also rewards extreme stunts and risky challenges. When we see someone doing something dangerous online, it’s easy to forget how much they might have put themselves in harm's way. We might think, Wow, that’s cool, or hit the like button without considering what could go wrong.
The truth is, likes and followers come and go. What really matters is keeping yourself safe and making choices that you’re proud of. There are so many ways to create amazing content without putting yourself in danger. Whether it’s sharing your art, making funny videos, or talking about what you care about, the best kind of content is the stuff that’s true to you — not something that could put your life at risk.
So next time you’re scrolling and see someone doing something risky for clout, think about what’s really happening. Do we want to celebrate unsafe choices, or should we encourage people to stay safe and be smart?
The coolest thing you can do on social media is be yourself — no stunts or risks required.
