(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.

      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.
