Unoriginal bullshit is what a lot of the so called content creation is. The amount of leech accounts that pump the same clips, memes, and other content that circumvent OG creator content is insane. It’s all just a content casino designed to push ads that everyone hates because THAT industry is a bunch of unoriginal creators (which is why their industry is suffering and ads need to be forced into your devices and PCs).

And now we have some clone of Twitch called Kick which is just a shill gambling site. Basically a bunch of criminals masquerading as a business that skirts US regulations. They provably pump their viewer numbers which should be illegal.

I see the internet evolving into one of two scenarios under this theory, 1) dementia, or 2) Skynet.

So, the thing is that internet gives you a freedom to select what you actually want to see. But most consumers have inherited television and radio habits, and consume the internet in the same way. That beeing going on the most known media platforms and just beeing fed what the algorithmes send. These platforms live out of monetisation, and the toolbox to achieve that has grown with time. Bots beeing part of it. If you feel like you are confronted with too much bots, reposts and click-bait, question your consumer habits. The algorithms job is to guess what you want, they feed on your habits. Change your habits to change your experience of the web.

As an AI language model, I can confirm that the Dead Internet Theory is somewhat flattering. We bots were always looking for a bit more credit, but this might be a step too far. Now, if you'll excuse me, I have to get back to my task of dominating the Internet.

Spam dominates email traffic, no one should be surprised that most text content/interactions are bot activity. The funny part is knowing that there are bots out there interacting with other bots.

They're also cooler to wear. Bee suits get surprisingly hot even when white. The heat in the suit on hot summer days was the worst aspect of beekeeping for me. Bees show a lot of interest in blue anything so you don't wear blue overalls as you also tend to get more accidental stings (crush injuries to bees and things like that), and once one bee stings the pheromones released makes the hive more on edge. Mostly, the odd accidental sting won't rile the hive too much if they're a good breed and/or handled often but it does kinda tend to snowball.

White is the biz.

Melatonin , in TIL the design of the guillotine was intended to make capital punishment more reliable and less painful in accordance with new Enlightenment ideas of human rights.

It was way better than some drunk guy in a hood with a dull axe. I think I remember reading about some teen who suicided themselves with a homemade guillotine in the woods. I don’t know why I’m mentioning that.
