Users pretend to be dead on Instagram over this reason

Users on Instagram have been coming up with bizarre reasons to get more likes and comments. While most ones want to be popular or be taken as social media influencers, some are doing it for utterly desperate reasons like a teen who wanted his girlfriend to believe that he was dead in order to get out of a toxic relationship and coerced his friend circle to post RIPs.

Another teen urged people to start the trend so that he could get out of school. While psychologists believe this is happening due to human psychological weirdness, not all netizens are happy with some pointing out how insensitive the entire thing was and makes light of death and its consequent sufferings.
