Nobody actually does this.

I hope you are right. There are shallow people out there.

Nobody worth your time actually does this.

I've seen a few articles about this topic, and apparently there is a fairly significant difference. It seems so shallow.

A lot of news articles copy and paste rage bait like this. They see one "post" on Twitter and suddenly everyone is doing this. The post is usually from a bot.
