(Fisrt time posting on Lemmy, please be patient)
I don’t know if it was also like this before, but I feel like recently every social media is focused on getting comments, likes, views, people sharing your post, being popular, when the before that (late 199X- mid 201x) was more about being unique and just sharing your own creations and remixes. What makes me feel like this is that whenever I (rarely) open Twitter and go to the homepage most of the posts are something baiting the viewer into commenting or sharing. When your post doesn’t has many interactions or views, you’re deemed as “a failure”. It seems like the (anti)social media is empty with baits and overshared memes. Long gone were the days of being original without having to directly copy someone to have validation and recognition.
Social media has become just has become just a large engagement farm.
What is happening with that title?
My mind skipped over the duplicate words until you pointed it out lol
Would you believe me if I told you that I don’t know either?
Hey at least you admit it and seem to be doing okay. Just fyi you can edit titles on Lemmy.
This is how a bot would respond
This is how a bot would respond, too.
That looks like edition error for me. OP likely wrote something, then erased it halfway, then rewrote it, without noticing that he already wrote that part. I do this all the time.
Stroke.
Aight, I feel much better now. Now what about that title.
Gotta pump those numbers up. Those are rookie numbers in this racket. I myself, I jerk off at least twice a day.
Pfft, amateurs. This is my third time today and I gotta rub it against the carpet to arouse some feeling.
First it’s carpets then next thing you know you wake up after a two-month multi-country bender in an alley on a dumpster couch covered in love juices.
Oddly specific. Is there something you’d like to share? 👀
Stronk
Don’t forget the mass manipulation of public opinion. There are a lot of players out there doing that all the time. From companies making ads that look like silly posts, and paying people or using bots to speak ill of the competition, to media agencies spreading fake news aiming at shifting people’s political views.
This is also another aspect of it, true.
Yes. Welcome to lemmy we like to think we are different because we are the rage isnt served to u by the algorithm its served to u by genuine dumbasses so u can get that much more angry at it.
The high-quality content is still there. It’s just harder to find now. I don’t use Twitter or Facebook (and Lemmy is like junk food for me) but I do read a few interesting blogs regularly and they often link to other interesting blogs.
Do you have any suggestions of how to find good content?
