I have to agree with you Tom in that there are a lot of videos of people doing crazy things with spiders on social media places and it has been like this for years. There are some folk who like to watch animals fight each other to the death for entertainment on SM. These may be the same people who think it's cool to put a spider in their mouth. If only moderators on these SM sites would take these types of clips down or even better ban them and replace them with better content such as your own.
