"this kind of content," Why are you making people give reddit traffic to figure out what you're talking about about?
For those that don't want to drive traffic, the link is to reddit. A post on r/nextfuckinglevel that is apparently a minute long video of a "probing" prank. The video is a minute long and there are hundreds of comments. Emoji of a van and an alien imply he's trying to convince aliens want to stick things in people's butts? As a prank?
Thanks, hero we need!
You're still on Reddit? Lol
Now that they are public, their mission is to deliver shareholder value. Every decision they make will have to lead to more money. And like it or not, "Facebook level crap" sells ads.
Reddit was one of the largest holdouts of the Web 2.0 experience. Even if there were signs of it coming to an end for years, I think posts like your example are a pretty indicator that that time has passed
Everything against you if you enjoy this content.
The brainded people watching this are why stupid YouTube channels like this are popular.
When you remove the bar for how good videos need to be to be popular, you get trash like this.
Anyone with a smart phone thinks they are the next big movie maker.
Leave it to the professionals.
I think it's fine, as in I don't understand the doom and gloom of your post.
Popular just means lowest common denominator. It's just a standard joke. It sets up expectations of "just another bumper sticker" and then it surprises you with it doing the absurd thing it promised that you didn't think was going to happen. Then it also references 'Men In Black', which is also going to make other people enjoy it for the reference.
Comedy used to be slap stick and minstrel shows. A horror movie was a train going forward. This too shall pass.
