For the past years, social media has been more and more versatile and people who are trying their luck in earning from being “influencers” have also increased tremendously. These folks do all sorts of things just to earn the likes and shares they think they deserve. Aside from money, fame is also an important factor that people these days are craving for.
Just to secure more reactions and followers, people do the most stupid and dumb things that could not only inconvenience others or damage property but would also potentially cost them their lives.
Read on and witness these 50 online attention-seekers who went way too far for social media.
1. Harassing other people
Some people just want to work properly so they can provide for their families, just like this poor taxi driver. On the other hand, this lady needs so much attention that she had to harass the driver and make him the subject of her perversion just because she wanted to get famous online.
2. He was brought to the ER after this stunt
Who in their right mind would eat the AirPods of their classmate? Good luck digesting that! His parents must be embarrassed as this guy was being treated in the ER because of this foolish stunt.
She wanted to let the world know that she went on hiking and still looked hot and free of sweat. Too bad her sister exposed her phony post and told everyone it was just their backyard, not some park somewhere.

There is nothing wrong with playing with your children and spraying water with them for fun. But, doing this to a two-year-old? This young mom needs more parenting lessons.
This guy took a bottle of alcoholic beverage from the supermarket fridge and drank it. He could not take it so he spits it out, hitting the others guy’s back. Of course, he did not find it amusing at all.
Getting likes for having a rare photo with a dolphin is fine. However, if you take a dolphin out from the sea just to take a selfie, and keeping it away from the water for so long to take more photos? Now, that’s unacceptable.

Haven’t we learned our lesson yet? Taking selfies using daredevil poses has already taken so many young lives. Why would people even dare do this? Remember, no amount of likes or shares or followers will bring you back from the dead.
He is making a blog for
Musical.ly without even realizing that his dying grandfather is just behind him. Or, he probably did it on purpose. Whichever it is, he should have some respect for his grandpa.
9. Another patient for the ER
Snow globes have nice-looking crystals inside them, and nobody even said these are edible. In fact, the safer option is to leave them alone and away from your digestive system. But this guy? He tried to eat them for no valuable reason and that’s what made him visit the hospital after this dumb act.
For the sake of internet fame, this mom made her seven adopted children do videos on her
YouTube channel. If they did not follow her orders, he would starve them, beat them, and even pepper-sprayed the poor children. It’s a good thing she’s been arrested and the children are now far from her grasp.
If your online content is under fashion and beauty, at least make your posts acceptable and nice. Getting neon green hair color is not bad, but pairing it with hot red clothing from head to toe? Not working.
Who is this guy and what right did he have to spray paint boulders in Yosemite National Park? He may have something to say, but he did not really need to destroy the environment for that, did he?

Pollutants in the environment are far greater than we can all imagine. And still, some people have the audacity to add more plastic on bodies of water and post them online? The nerve!
14. Even their children’s life
What exactly are these parents trying to teach their children by doing this kind of stunt just to get fame online? Just watching this clip shook me to the core. This is simply unacceptable.
She wanted to have this photo to inform everyone that she helped and that her presence in Africa made a difference. Well, the kids clearly think otherwise and their faces say it all.
https://www.reddit.com/r/Cringetopia/comments/hobrjo/these_kids_were_absolutely_not_interested_in/
He thinks it’s cool to have a tattoo so he can get likes on social media? Why not get it done in his own skinny arms? He even bothered a friend who has them, only to post something full of lies. Good luck with finding a girlfriend who would accept your insecurities.
Some challenges on social media are harmless, but some challenges should not have happened in the first place because they will just result in pain and injuries. These people probably thought their bodies are made of steel to be thinking that they can endure a strong powerwash made for cars. Well, they learned their lesson the hard way.
This is an actual dead body, and this woman just took a selfie with it. She probably had to take a lot of shots to get the perfect pose. Who cares about respecting the deceased, right? Definitely not her.
Are your followers online so important that you really had to trample on those poor plants? The sign clearly says not to step on them and yet, this “influencer” decided not to follow the rules. Just great.
20. Not a proper pose or caption
There is nothing wrong with taking a photo with the epitaph meant to honor war heroes. But, with that caption and pose, she probably did not realize she’s standing in front of such a monument.

21. For the sake of getting more likes
Some people are too focused on themselves and their goal of getting thousands, even millions, of likes and followers that they do not even care if they injure others in the process. This woman thinks that her followers are still not enough so she decided to throw a chair from her high-rise home. Who cares if somebody down there dies because of it, right?
Dads are supposed to protect their kids from the harm of social media. And yet,t his Dad decided to shave his son’s head just to get more likes and followers, resulting in tears and complaints from his boy. What has happened to parents these days?
23. How to tell your kids about the divorce
You know what’s more heartbreaking than knowing your parents are about to get a divorce? Learning about it by seeing their posts online. Poor kid.
Last time I have checked, ASMR should be a source of relaxation. Why do YouTubers eat grass, stones, rocks, and even deodorants just to get the sounds they think we need to hear? They have become a cause of stress, really!

We are not used to seeing people take photos of their food before eating them. But, taking the food out to capture a photo of it on the sidewalk? That’s pretty unheard of, missy.

26. Sexual harassment also happens to men
Just because you are a female who’s pretty or hot does not give you the right to be perverted towards men. You can’t just jump on them because that’s practically sexual harassment, too!
She adopted this adorable boy and sometime later, she put him up again for adoption for another family. I guess she changed her mind? The child does not look happy in the photos anyway.
Instagram is not always equivalent to reality. Take this woman, for example. She appears to be having such a smooth, luxurious life on social media, but it’s all just for show in reality.
Do you know what’s worse than not working for a living? Well, it’s pretending you are actually working! This woman even borrowed tools from a man and pretended to board up windows. She drove off in a Mercedes after her short stint.
Some random guy saw a photographer taking some photos near a pond. He passed by and without words or warning, he pushed the poor photographer to the water! And his cameraman even laughed at his “genius” act. The poor woman could have been hurt or her equipment may be damaged because of this mean guy. What a bully.
31. She’s lucky to be alive
This woman had to get this photo, one that almost claimed her life. Apparently, her recovery could take years all because of one photo she thought would make people like her more on social media.
https://www.reddit.com/r/justforsocialmedia/comments/cwmbz1/she_just_had_to_get_that_shot/
Daredevil content is not only for those people who love to take selfies on skyscrapers. This woman, who is deathly allergic to blackberries, wanted to get more likes on TikTok so she ate one. Let’s just hope she had an anti-allergy medication with her when she did this stupid thing.
33. Accidentally or on purpose?
Let’s say she found out her beau’s bum is in the mirror for all to see, did she really have to post the picture in the end? Some people would gladly bare their butts online just to get famous.
https://www.reddit.com/r/justforsocialmedia/comments/griydc/uhuh/
Who would even find this entertaining? The poor pup got covered with fruit just for kicks.
35. Wasting all that make-up
Why, dude, why? Some women would love to have all those make-up! And if you have so much money to spend on make-up you won’t use, why not donate that money instead?
36. They wanted to go viral
Fame can be achieved by doing better things than putting soap in the canals. And they even have the audacity to post about this on social media! They better be ready for the lawsuit waiting for them once the government finds it about their foolish stunt.
Tourist spots are placed within fences for a reason. This is to preserve their beauty for more people to enjoy. However, people who have no regard for rules keep on walking over the fences and taking pictures amidst the dainty flowers. Now, they are all gone and it is nothing but their fault.
38. This will make you mad
I don’t own a dog myself, but even I know that eating that much chili is brutal. And this dog was forced to eat all that, crying continuously as he did. My heart is breaking for this poor dog.
39. Random acts of stupidity
Some people have really valuable content, but some just don’t know what to do that they basically are doing whatever, even the dumbest things. This guy, for example, just poured a whole bottle of soda on his head, all while wearing a face mask. He did not get satisfied with that and even poured some oil on his head before combing his hair. He was outside as he did this, by the way.
40. What a “responsible” Dad
Is a photo with the elephants within the enclosed space worthy enough that this Dad risked his and his child’s life just to take it? He even dropped his child as he was running for his life! Wow.
All for the sake of likes and shares and followers, people would do anything even take selfies on top of burning police cars. That is both amazing and stupid.
Anybody in their right mind would know this will happen to anyone who tries to lick frozen steel. Why would he ultimately decide to do this to himself then? Dude, seriously?
43. She died a little inside
If you’re not going to buy it, don’t let people online believe that you are going to. Just look at the poor balloon vendor’s face. She must now know that she should not let people take photos of her products if they don’t plan to buy.
https://www.reddit.com/r/justforsocialmedia/comments/mcov5u/so_i_guess_youre_not_buying_a_balloon/
School desks are made for students so they can place their books and study materials on them, not to dance on them! That’s what you get for not focusing on your studies and prioritizing dancing on TikTok instead.
45. Paintballs versus shirtless bodybuilder
I am not sure about the 1,000 paintballs, but I am sure it hurt a lot to be shot with that many paintballs without your shirt on. Some even hit his bare head! Dude, paintball gear is made to be worn for a reason. So, what was this video all about again?
Apart from the fact that he ruined someone’s hard work, this guy is definitely the epitome of stupid. Let’s just hope that concrete left on his face and arm eventually went away. That and this video he made are irrefutable evidence that he’s behind this stupid stunt.
I thought I’ve seen the worst kinds of influencers around. Apparently, I was wrong because I just saw this guy today.
Is there a fire inside that mouth of yours? Did you swallow something burning? If not, then why would you want to put a fire extinguisher into your mouth and turn it on? That would be the best way to damage your body, let me tell you.
Some YouTubers have content that is about challenges, or maybe myth-busting. Nothing wrong with that, as long as safety is always prioritized. But this friend who’s running this excavator? He stopped abruptly knowing his friend is harnessed to the heavy equipment! Wow. I see a friendship getting over after this.
50. Setting another person on fire
Again, some people are willing to hurt others just to be more famous just because of likes and followers. Take this evil person who sprayed gas and set the person on the next stall on fire. I mean, why would he do that? You don’t even know the person, man!
Sadly, these “attention-seekers” are everywhere. Beware because you might meet someone like this on your way to work, home, school, or wherever you are going. Stay vigilant, because they look like normal people at first, until they start acting stupid.
