!['The Onion' Skewers Social Media 'Experts' [VIDEO]](https://helios-i.mashable.com/imagery/archives/02paLnWOx0pNVgpuS0Pu2i5/hero-image.fill.size_1248x702.v1647021694.jpg)
Lacking in original ideas? Don't worry your empty little head because social media provides the perfect cover -- or at least in this parody it does.
The Onion pokes fun at the throngs of social media experts spewing generic tips on Facebook and Twitter with a TED-style talk from Cameron Hughes. Hughes, a faux social media consultant, reveals that the "secret" to success online is doing a whole lot of nothing. Nada, zip, zilch and then -- tah-dah! -- millions of followers and fans. If only it were that easy.
Don't you feel silly for putting all that effort into 140-character quips and re-sharing memes from George Takei?
