To this day the part of the Internet that vexes me most is shitposting. Like is this funny to anyone? It’s like family guy humor but without good writing. It’s just random and gross and weird. Good job trolling me or something?
Intrinsically funny? Not really. But I like seeing communities, especially organised and elitist ones get cleverly disrupted by trolls and shit posts that get a ton of engagement, both good and bad.
Like that guy who posted in Microsoft flight Sim subreddit showing a selfie of his first day on the job at a real ATC tower. Only its not really him, just some random ATC and the tracking screen behind him was edited to show two planes on a collision course. Half the sub was balling him out for not paying proper attention, another half was deeply sus and demanding proof, and the third half was just quietly recognising a masterful troll post and enjoying the show.
Alamy, right? Right?!
