Ever since I have been part of this so called “Blogging game” I have been exposed to a myriad of clickbait-centric sites that will do anything to gain a view, share, like, tweet, pin, tumble, etc. I’m sure you have noticed it as well. It has now infested everything we consume. Most of the content on the internet is “10 ways you are like the Eldrian dragon from Game of Thrones!” or “If you don’t try this awesome, new diet, your dick will literally fall off!”
I think that this “LOOK AT THIS NOW!!!” guerrilla warfare on the attention spam implemented on the internet has cascaded too far into our everyday lives. I have alluded to this before, but we have news networks now who never report anything newsworthy. Formerly credible sources for information on the world now show videos of baby goats wearing tweed sweaters, or even worse create a problem where one does not exist. CNN, FOX, NBC, ABC, MSNBC, etc, they all do it.
This is the most lucrative time in human history to create an imaginary sense of chaos. There has always been scare tactics for profit, also known as good marketing, but in the past, you needed a large business or a lot of money to push that sort of propaganda. Now, anybody can do it. Literally anybody. Some would even say that I am doing it.
I was so dumbfounded by a post on Yahoo! (mistake number one) that I had to read it. I wish I could link it, but I wrote it down because I was so flabbergasted, the title was ’40 Eating Habits Indicating You Are Having A Life Crisis.’ Can you believe that this even exists? First of all, if you have a habit of eating, you are not having a life crisis. You are doing quite well, in fact you have habits of eating. I’m sure there are a couple people in around the world who would love one of your habits of eating.
I browsed through the list, and I had half of the eating habits. OMG I’M HAVING A CRISIS, MY LIFE IS OVER! (Although I’m sure some of you who read this think I am mid-crisis/insane, I assure everything is fine.) It was so ridiculous because the habits were stupid general things that everyone does. One of them was drinking black coffee. Really? Drinking coffee is proven to be healthy for you, and drinking it black cuts all the unhealthy, fatty, frappa-bullshit that Starbucks shoves into it.
But that silly post speaks volumes to the environment we are exposed to. Americans have it better than 99% on this gigantic blue sphere, and it is shame that it is profitable to create a sense of chaos, because we are missing out on the great things we have going for us. I’m not necessarily referring to you fine folks because you obviously have the right idea since you are reading my blog, but it worries me that this is the world that the generation below mine is being exposed to. A world filled with useless information bombarding their brains, no wonder why every fucking kid has ADHD or is on some form of medication. It’s because they are constantly consuming foolish posts like the above Yahoo crap as “entertainment” but it is fabricated instability being subconsciously planted into their craniums. You are taking a developing brain filled with a blissful ignorance of the foreign world it is trying to adapt to and pumping that illusion of constant chaos into it. It is like a playground next a nuclear reactor; sure the kids claim they are having fun, but they are completely unaware of the radiation they are being exposed to.
Even worse is that the media heads/content creators pushing this dreary shit are completely aware of what they are doing and they are more than happy with the cyber-sodomy because it is lining their pockets. I don’t even think I can be upset with them because it spawns purely out of jealousy; they are making an absurd amount of money off of content that people “want”, or better yet that people haven’t had told them to stop making. So really, why would they stop?
