Reminded of this clip. ▶ this video But as much as it pains me to admit... the current state of America is the slopocalypse. A slopalanche. A slopnado. AI cats waking people up in the middle of the night, blasting down doors, glitching out. All produced by slop-slingers. It's rather bleak for long form attention content, human created or not. Its a war of/on attention. A war to secure your attention during the time that you would otherwise think for yourself. Keep off the short form content, is my advice.
Commonly known as nonconstructive criticism from people bored by the lack of their own imaginations. ▶ this video
> they're the common folk, the clay of the Earth. "You know ... morons." ▶ this video RIP Cleavon Little (1932-92) and Gene Wilder (1933-2016).
People not viewing the information we want them to view? Why not make your good information mandatory, and prohibit the bad information! Facebook didn't do anything to democracy; the electorate has always been mostly simple salt-of-the-earth, common-clay people [1]. The kind of people who've been swayed by yellow journalism before, and would eagerly spread completely fabricated rumors about candidates amongst themselves. The article also rings hollow when talking about how "no one could have seen this coming" since evidently Russia, the Trump campaign, and Beitbart (and, honorable mention, Scott Adams? [2]) had all managed to see it coming. Instead, I suspect the author is simply bitter about the fact that Clinton was unable to buy as the same kind of impressions as Trump, despite spending twice as much. [1] ▶ this video [2] link
