My views on things often differ from those in my social circle. I am often bombarded with article links and videos from people with no words of their own attached. It is very easy to send a link. It takes a bit of effort to form a coherent paragraph expressing a single thought.

I would describe this kind of communication as lazy and not very good. I am sure others experience this often as well. I am wondering if there is a proper term for it, or if it is worth trying to coin a term for it.

    The term is followers. The people who aren’t able to hold their own opinions are called followers.

        I feel ya, but what else COULD you describe someone in a single word that doesn’t seem to be able of forming their own thoughts?
