Goonerism is a sub-optimal way of life. So is being terminally online. Men and women must go outside and explore the real world. The internet must be used as a tool to aid you in your journey in the real world and not a substitute for it.

Shit happens fast doesn't it. One day it was just your typical middle east business. The next day it became a full blown war. Then US got involved. Who knows what to expect tomorrow.

Ah, I see. I thought you were watching this as some kind of ASMR or something. I heard some people like turning on the TV while they work cause that makes them feel like there are other people in the room and so they feel less lonely.

People used to be obsessing over ambient soundtracks with rain and waterfall sounds or whatever, and now it's sounds of a chinese kid writing code in the background? Explain to me the point of this.

I think this is all due to the fact that there were much less people on the internet before then there are now and also because nobody really knew how to commercialize their posting back when the internet was fresh.

 

>like always being pursuant of likes, shares, fame, etc

Typical human behaviour. Who doesn't want a little bit of fame? Well, maybe perhaps that one sigma male but he's just the 1%.

>But it shouldn't be too far-fetched to say that we tend to ham things up for the camera to a ridiculous extent now.

Like how someone would spread made up stories or over exaggerate minor events for attention? Yeah that always was a thing. Probably started back when Tharg told the whole tribe that he saw ten mammoths in the valley (there were only three).

 

It's not that I condone all the slop-posters and attention whores, I just think that they are a natural phenomenon. What the internet did was give everyone a global voice, so people naturally started exploiting that. There probably was a period when the internet was very new and strange so people weren't quite sure how to use it, but now that it has become a core element of our lives and every joe and his grandmother has access, we get to see more people trying to get a profit from posting rather than just doing it for fun.

 

So yeah, I kinda agree with you in a sense, but I also think that the current state of the internet is just a consequence of basic human behaviour.

 

I'm not a fan of a lot of the modern trends going around due to the internet. A part of me feels that it's weird how people would do crap like record tiktoks in public, but a part of me also realizes that perhaps it's not too bad. We've evolved to this stage and there is no going back, so we just gotta wait and see what this all turns into.

 

>But, I never got to experience the early years of the social media scene, so I might be talking out my ass here.

Lol same.

Two questions.

  1. What exactly do you mean by "posting for yourself"?
  2. What makes you think that people used to do that before but not now?
