Yes, he's doing it. And all those other guys aren't (in fact they look rather petty in comparison). So yes, I give him credit. Bigass credit.

I think they do it because getting you to go to the thing is the point, not watch the thing. Once you've gone to the thing they just want you to go to the next thing. Watching the thing is just wasted time for them.

It probably has to do with maximizing your exposure to advertising.

I think it's the power of social media. People living in echo chambers. Their minds are turning into perfect crystal. Full of all the right ideas. Full of certainty about what's right and wrong, real and unreal. Perfect and logical yet constrained to a tiny box. Brittle. Vulnerable to cracking at the smallest shock.

I have had similar thoughts.

Consider, a really nice ideology. Full of politeness, good behavior, acceptance, tolerance, liberality and positive ideas.

But the ideology is transmitted via powerful propaganda, threats, conformity and totalitarian stuff.

So it isn't actually so nice.

Like he's doing more to run it than you are suggesting.

I think yr kinda pulling that out of your ass there. I think there's more to it.

Visit a house where they have the tv on all the time. Commercials and everything. It's harsh.

I jolly roger everything. No commercials.

Why is saying bad stuff on twitter more important than sending rockets into space?

But he runs a space program. Doesn't he get credit for that?

Words are realer than gravity now.

I detect a metaphor

They're also both black women with a strong political flavor. I'll take a look, thanks.

Sorry cybertron, begging is totally an evocation of emotion. That's its power. That's why you do it.

Why did you lead with a question just there? Yes, for the emotion. It's like you can't help it.

Those idiots excite me.

(The same could be said of most songs, poetry, fiction.)

Someday we will invent a way to convey emotions without that intermediate step. That will be impressive.

There's a lot to disapprove of about the whole of popular thought, modern norms, science even. Shitposting can be an expression of that disapproval. And no, you can't just frame it as a rational argument. That would be like explaining 3D to a flatlander. All you can do is shit and howl.

Not saying all shitposts are an example of this, but give them the benefit of the doubt.

(Imagine homeless Neo, roaming the sidewalks of a city, yelling at pedestrians, "You're all trapped in The Matrix!")

Find a way to make money where you sell your services directly to the customer. No boss or job. Flexible schedule. Good money.

Yes, drug dealer is one such, but there are others.

You don't think we could hit 99% popularity?

Assume that it's one you like.
