Twitter turned SuperBowl into SuperTroll for Tim Cook.

[AlTech]

Twitter decided that Tim Cook being at the super bowl was a bad idea and so they wanted to make fun of him and become a SuperTroll so this is what they did. they made fun of the worse iPhone photo I've ever seen.

 

 

This is stupidly out of focus. it looks like shit. And it shows how sloppy iPhones are at taking photos.

 

Twitter has always been a medium of bullying and trolling. However, things get a little more comforting for the average joe when the person running one of the world’s biggest tech companies gets the same – or even worse – virtual thrashing as the rest of us.

 

Last evening, following the Denver Broncos’ win over the Carolina Panthers in Super Bowl 50, Cook tweeted a photo of the early celebrations on the field of the Levi’s Stadium in San Francisco. The image is proving to be the worst marketing any smartphone may have ever received as the photo is blurry, out of focus and awful to say the least. At an event which is considered to attract the highest number of viewers and followers, Super Bowl is the lucky charm for advertisers. Possibly under the excitement of the moment, Cook didn’t think this through and posted a quickly shot photo with his followers on Twitter.

What followed is a story of its own though, as it made Tim Cook a trending topic on Twitter. From jokes to memes, everything that a Twitter trolling fiasco is normally consisted of was targeted at the person running one of the most successful businesses in the world.

Kinda agree, and I unfortunately have an iPhone and plan on getting the S7 when my plan is up (will be next year)

The camera is ok, but not competitive with other phones out there

It's not like it would have been a good shot if it was in focus anyways.... He was 20 yards away from Peyton Mannings huge ass forehead.

In fairness, Tim Cook seems like a bit of a troll himself...

Troooooooooooll

 

Lets be real, iPhones aren't bad at taking photos. This is just an example of how not to take a picture, on any kind of camera.

Hey. Calling out other LTT users as being trolls is not very nice and is against the Community Standards. When I look at people around me using iphones they take worse photos than the rest.

I couldn't take a photo that bad with my 6s even if I tried. The 6s Plus, however, has OIS so an image like this is near impossible if you do actually focus it.

I could take a photo worse than this with my $700 Lumix. Like they say, computers are only as smart as the person using them.

That billionaire has a 6? Not even a 6s? The fuck?

I know right. I figured that at least he probably has a 6s. but that's kinda stupid

To be fair, comparing an iPhone 6 photo is like comparing a Galaxy S5 or HTC M8 camera to an iPhone 6s camera (or HTC M9 or Galaxy S6.)

Without lighting, (most of my pictures lmao) my pictures are terrible and out of focus.

Its not the phones fault its tim cook's fault, but tbh i dont know what he were thinking when he uploaded the photo  thats one way to destroy their campaign of "shot with an iphone"

So people trying to be funny/edgy on the internet is news now? The other day I saw people being racist in youtube comments, might want to add that to the OP aswell.

This is twitter and it involves celebrities. Usually people love Tim Cook but hypocrites rule the internet apparently. They're probably like the illuminati of the internet.

[C0LL0SS0S]

I really don't get it. Why is it so funny that he posted a blurry pic ? I mean sure hes the CEO of apple and all but how boring must the world be that this is headlining the News ? ^^

Well no. It shows that a picture can be made blurry if the camera cannot focus properly due to outside causes, such as shaky hands. I mean, the photo looks like it was taken with movement being added by the user. I've had an iPhone 4S - while zooming was shitty, it took okay pictures that were clear if the camera was able to focus - this is something that any camera can have issues with. Poking fun at the iPhone 6 and Tim Cook doesn't change that fact.

"Twitter has always been a medium of bullying and trolling. However, things get a little more comforting for the average joe when the person running one of the world’s biggest tech companies gets the same – or even worse – virtual thrashing as the rest of us."

 

"Bullying"... "Virtual thrashing"... Let's look again at the examples they used:

• "bruh that's the best photo you could take?"
• "you take this with an iPad?"
• "Uh… Is the message here that iPhones take terrible photos of important moments?! Because that really seems to be the msg here."
• "New iPhone campaign starring (Tim Cook)"

 

You heard it here first guys, simple online banter/criticism that doesn't even have swearing in it is now VIRTUAL THRASHING. Good god, talk about being mollycoddled. Get the cotton wool, we need to protect people online from this horrible twitter hate mob!

 

Bad form, WCCF.

I'm actually amazed that people directly use this as a opportunity to attack apple, while in this case the fault is clearly the human which is faulty, being unable to take a sharp picture in this age is a real mistake in my eyes, especially if you post it on social media or something.

Although now I think of it, when I take a photo through the twitter app my phones camera goes shit

you might be contradicting yourself a little.

yes it might be far fetched but since I read both topics one after an other I couldn't help but notice it.
