Share Thinking 

This is when an individual doesn't research information that was found online but still 'shares' it on. They barely use their own brain in the process to at least try to find out if it is true. Said individuals just 'share' incorrect information and in the process forming an opinion from it. This information is nowadays 'shared' in the form of memes, random Facebook posts, or articles from fake sites etc.
Unknown Starter: 'Walt Disney is cryonically frozen' *Shares post* with caption (opinion) without finding out if this is true.
User A: Sees post, *Shares post* with caption based on the previous user's already incorrect opinion of incorrect information.

User B: Oh wow, I didn't know that!, *Shares post*
User C: *Shares post*
User D: *Shares post*
(This cycle usually continues on until a logical person that can think for themselves decides to research the information).

User E: Guys, this isn't really true, did anyone ever try to find this out? The guy isn't actually frozen. Why share this post if you're not going to find out for yourself if it's true? That's share thinking!

Surf Dracula Syndrome 

A phenomenon in film/television series, most notably streaming series, where the main premise is drawn out to such a point that it takes an entire season or more to get the parts of the series the audience is actually interested in seeing.

For example, if a series is titled "Surf Dracula," a majority of viewers would tune in expecting to see Dracula surfing by the first or second episode. However, the entire first season would instead be tedious padding and backstory before finally ending with Dracula surfing in the last five minutes of the season finale.
I watched "Smallville" on Netflix the other day. Dude, it was ten seasons of filler before he finally flew! Major Surf Dracula Syndrome!
