Chapter 1272
Throughout the year, @ShilohTalks published extensive articles on almost every trending topic on the news while delving into the
depths of the matter and its broader implications. She wrote about a student being mean to a cat, a problem at a university
cafeteria, a person taking bad pictures of others in the subway, someone cheating at a famous school, and a really sad time
when a famous person on the internet died.
In an age where honest journalism was scarce, the blogger fearlessly spoke the minds of many. Hence, it came as no surprise
that she garnered a massive following.
Felicity didn't always agree with what the blogger said. Sometimes the blogger seemed too much on one side or tried to make
people angry. But still, some of the things she wrote were fun to read. So, Felicity started following the account and reading what
they wrote.
It had not been a year since this account started, but it already had millions of followers from different places.
The kindergarten thing wasn't a big story by itself, but when @ShilohTalks wrote about it, a lot of people started talking about it
on big websites.
"She weighed in on the Sophia incident a while back, and I started feeling uneasy. She admitted that Sophia was undoubtedly at
fault. However, her acts of kindness after receiving backlash deserved praise. She even went so far as
to say that not all heroes wear capes. I almost stopped following her because of that," Felicity said.
"I thought maybe we just had different ideas, but now I see she just wants attention. Real news people check things before they
write about them. So, I stopped following her," Felicity said.
Felicity talked like she was doing the right thing and wanted Stella to say she did good.
Stella finished reading while Felicity was talking. She laughed when she heard what her friend said and said, "You can't trust
everything you see online. People who make money from this stuff might not be fair all the time."
"I think the article is good. If I didn't know about this already, I might feel sorry for the kids and parents. I'd be mad at the person
who caused the problem," Stella said after a short pause.
The article didn't say the person's name who was causing the problem. It talked about how important school is for kids. The text
featured interviews with two parents who had relocated to Rivera, sacrificing a considerable portion of their savings to secure a
home within a reputable school district. They saved a lot of money to do that. But then, after only half a year, they had to move
their kids again, and that cost a lot of money.
The fees for a good preschool were expensive; sometimes, they could even cost more than a college student's monthly
allowance. The financial burden of transferring their child to a new school that was out of the district pushed parents to
their limits. One parent even suffered an injury from a falling object during his construction job because he was busy worrying
about his child's schooling. It was that he was still undergoing treatment in the hospital.
The article concluded by emphasizing that people should prioritize collective interests in any personal dispute. @ ShilohTalks
also mentioned that matters regarding education should be treated with greater caution. [We should not put others at risk for the
sake of our own selfish desire and become the straw that breaks the camel's back for the next generation.]
'This is quite an impressive piece of writing. It covers topics ranging from wealth inequality to educational challenges. This
blogger certainly mastered the art of leveraging trending topics to draw traffic to his page,' thought Stella. It appeared that Hylda
had not been idle these past three days. This article is unmistakably her initial countermove.
"So, what's next? Should we find someone important to write about this? The things they said about us aren't true. People who
don't know might think we're causing problems, but it's Hylda who's trying to take Mom's property!" Felicity said.
"We just want what's ours. We didn't say to stop school; she did. She's clearly exploiting parents and internet users of their sense
of justice to get what she wants!" Felicity talked like she really cared and said we should talk to the police.
