There's a pretty big gap "making it on the news to raise awareness for your cause" and "mastabatory shitposting on social media"

dude isn't sneaking video evidence of wrongdoing out of a factory farm... just photoshopping bad dentures on sharks.

I agree that any movement needs both friendly and provocative advocacy to affect change, but the only thing these types of posts accomplish is helping OP feel superior.
