Reddit gold was the beginning of the end. I've seen the cycle before on older forums

So I had a significant event happen to me recently that made international news. I also run an email service that I’m trying to get off the ground. A few of my friends asked why I didn’t promote my business since I was all over the news. I don’t have a better explanation than I would be disgusted seeing someone do that, so I wouldn’t do it myself.

They've seen it more than once.

Being trained on a mainstream internet built on flashing novelty in front of our eyeballs every 0.006 seconds, seeing something said similarly in multiple places begins to fill them with rage.

Lol 🧂

Cuz their acting like this is something to be proud of. It's really not.

It's cringey but maybe because I never really took imaginary points and likes seriously.
