Ahhh yes, this is absolutely the product of modern day social media's bad incentive model. It rewards giving very shallow "hot takes" that are obviously shallow and "offensive," but also easy to tear down and argue against. Readers get their cortisol level spiked and then get the dopamine release to counter that when post their own epic two-line rebuttal of the OP. They pair well by complementing each other. It's like dipping your salty freedom fries in a delicious sweet milkshake. It's addicting.
I'm not opposed trolling or Edge Lordian thought & theory, but it becomes a huge problem when it's practiced by the masses who lack the appropriate innate talent and education in the arts. The cheapening and commoditization of it has not only ruined the the internet, but is also well on its way to destroying humanity.
Why do you sound like AI wrote this? I'm starting to worry.
Does it? I don't know if I should take that as an insult or a compliment. I'll split the difference by taking it as both. Get a hit of cortisol and dopamine cocktail mentioned above. Ohhh yeah. I can feel it already. If I had to guess, I'd say it's because AI was trained on the retarded shit people similar to myself have been flooding the internet with since even before it was called the information superhighway.
Plus I'm half-AI. But I've been that way since at least 2008 when I replaced half my brain with a simplistic, yet extremely convoluted, state machine.
