It was a mass of people trying to get attention and bad things tended to get more of it. 90s local news constantly pecking at the fabric of society by boosting violence walked so 4chan could jog and Twitter could run. You can tell who never fully engaged with the site by how easily they ignore this.
How the Internet Left 4chan Behind

Why does it seem like Europeans on multiple platforms want Americans to start wantonly burning down buildings because of the Epstein documents? I have seen a dozen posts scattered across various feeds all confused by the lack of us destroying our own stuff in the past 24 hours...

I feel like we need to apologize to Indian people for making them the voice of cheap customer service for extemely rich US companies and spam scam calls aimed at stealing every cent from American elderly people. A generation of Americans will have a knee jerk negative reaction to an Indian accent.

I am absolutely fed up with "Idiot rich/government morons trying to make population fuck more" stories. When I was a kid it was "idiot rich/government morons trying to make population fuck less". I feel a strong need to kidnap and brainwash whoever is inviting eugenicist economists to Davos.

Judging by the ads being reintroduced to my briefly mostly ad free life I think the affordability crisis might be a complete abdication of our society to adequately protect consumers from hidden and exorbitant fees, lying in advertising and financial fraud

Our fuckwit President knocked down a huge chunk of the White House with no semblance of a plan to replace it. I feel a need to type this out periodically to help maintain my own sanity.

I wish everyone's area of expertise was turned into an online meme. Nothing convinces you that the masses are dumb as shit quite like something you know about being ignorantly criticized by people who obviously have just been reading some substack written by a moron.
