The Blockout 2024 trend, also known as the Digitine (a portmanteau of digital and guillotine), emerged as a viral social media movement in May 2024 following the Met Gala. Users began collectively blocking high-profile celebrities and influencers who were perceived as remaining silent or indifferent toward global humanitarian crises, specifically the situation in Gaza. The movement focuses on 'de-platforming' the wealthy elite by reducing their engagement and advertising revenue. Memes associated with this trend often feature the blocking interface of apps like TikTok and Instagram, portraying the act as a form of modern digital activism. It represents a shift in internet culture where followers leverage their attention as a commodity to demand social accountability from the world's biggest stars.
