Mine is - Algorithm. Ever since people have learned some of the inner workings of how content is suggested to them, that became the new spammed word that easily got exhausted within the week of it being used.

Yeah, an algorithm does indeed pitch you things of what to watch or listen to. But there’s more going on than that, but people all the time just stop at that word and expect everyone to suddenly understand it. Sadly, most people just buy it at face value.

    “Whataboutism” (a term for that already existed; it’s called “getting called on your hypocritical bullshit”), “disinformation” (this term is literally just the BlueAnon answer to the MAGAt’s “fake news”), jesus christ “fallacy” especially (Merely calling out a fallacy like you’re an NFL ref at the Super Bowl is the same kind of sophistry as the fallacy you address if you’re not gonna spend the time to dismantle it).
