Hello everyone, how are you doing today? This is going to be Week 30, Edition 01 of our Weekly Featured Content.
So, last week Saturday we had the last hangout that was just so much fun we did not want it to come to an end. We are currently on our first topic for the week which is, “FEAR”.
But before we proceed with the details of the topic, let us take a look at the winners of the last one which was “FAKE NEWS”. This topic was geared toward each member of the community telling us about their experiences with fake news and how it affected them in one way or the other.
We also got to learn about the adverse effects of spreading fake news and also why it was necessary to verify every piece of information that came our way. It was an enlightening topic indeed.
For this topic, we went through every entry post, and that is every post with the #hl-exclusive & #hl-w29e3 tags. And with the number of wonderful posts out there it was quite difficult to make a selection. But eventually, we did just that. And so, the posts that will be featured not just for their exceptional content, but also for their level of engagement with other authors will be listed below:

DOES NO ONE REALLY COME ALIVE FROM BERMUDA TRIANGLE? by @faiza34
This author told us about one of the most famous fake news ever spread, and that is about the Bermuda Triangle. A lot of myths have been associated with that particular part of the ocean and as such, it has increased fear and apprehension about it. Her post is enlightening indeed.
IT SPREAD LIKE WILD FIRE
by @quduus1
This author told us about the spread of fake news concerning the death of a famous Nigerian celebrity. Causing a lot of people, he included, to go into mourning. But then, it turned out that it was all a lie and the actor was still alive and kicking. Just another effect of spreading fake news.
FAKE NEWS IN THE AGE by @justfavour
This author told us about how the social media space has become a platform for spreading false news, all to get views and likes. People will post anything that seems remotely like clickbait. He also gave an example that happened to him, and it was quite hilarious. He concluded by reminding us to be careful of what we post on social media and also the kind of content we consume as well.
All of the above contents were supported by our official curation account @lazy-panda with an extra amount. And first 3 authors will receive 100 ECENCY Points [ Sponsored By Ecency Team (@melinda010100) ] and 1 Hive SBI each as a reward next Monday. These posts were selected because of their special attention to detail and how they followed the topic. There were a lot of good ones out there, but we just could not pick them all.
But then, we have some honorable mentions which are listed below:
