Going OT: why a parody account of Italian PM is tweeting a video about an airplane accident in India? Really weird


Because Twitter is a very weird and inauthentic place.


People always tweet trending stuff for popularity as simple as that


But this seems a "first hand" content, not a retweet.


Could be something as simple as a follower sending the video to the account knowing it will be shared


It could simply be reposted from another site or downloaded from a tweet and uploaded without attribution.


The account is run from India.


That raises even more questions.


It's very common, ever since twitter added monetization. It makes the site a lot more unbearable.


To be fair, you kinda gotta be on the outside of something to make good humor about it.


Not really, this is more of an internet meme [1].

Sometimes it's hard to tell the truth about what obviously just happened so all you can bear to do is say something unreasonably optimistic.
