Anything involving a picture gets way more replies regardless if it's a troll attempt or actually real? Most often the meme threads are garbage like people throwing random pictures to see what sticks on the wall or not.
I have given up on forums except here because it's the same thing. Only 'treeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeendy' threads ever get noticed. If you complain or call out on it BOOM INSTANT BAN!!!
Regrettably, I've concluded that this is one manifestation of the "MTV attention span" cultural generations. Ever since the rise of music videos, you've got to have a cut every two seconds to hold their attention. They've been immersed in that since early childhood and have no awareness of any other condition.
We lost most people at the third word above, when they subconsciously thought, "booooorrrrrrrinnnnngggggg" and moved on. If you made it this far, congratulations.
SECRET BONUS: For only the diligent readers that will see this, back in the 80's the guy that made MTV into what we it as today is a crypto-Nazi billionaire living under an assumed identity. No kidding! But in fairness, you probably could have guessed that.
But he also invented podcasts, so he’s got that going for him. I hope you’re talking about Adam Curry Spice, and not Russel Brando with the euro-MTV.
Haha, no, it was the guy that was running MTV at the time and hired Adam Curry and all the other VJs as part of a total revamp of MTV. Before that it was literally just music videos.
He went on to run NPR for a few years. Most people would think, "Who cares?", but at the time he was doing it I looked at the ratings. Limbaugh and Hannity had audiences of about 20M, but "Fresh Air" and "All Things Considered" each had audiences of about 30M.
I actually tried emailing AC about this years back, but my emails were, ahem, compromised.
