It’s not that hard to spot; my mother will watch them sometimes. A parrot using complete sentences and witty turns of phrase about a cat trying to attack them? Yeah no. But how do you get a “I just want to sit under my blanket, eat soup and watch cute animal videos” boomer retiree to understand she’s destroying the world by paying attention to this?

she’s destroying the world by paying attention to this Okay, I’ll bite. How exactly is your mom “destroying the world” by paying attention to it?

  By actively selecting these videos, watching them, sometimes multiple times through, going back to them to show them to me “You’ve got to see this video I saw” god hate fucking dammit, she’s driving revenue toward their uploaders, which is causing them to pave over the entire continent of North America with data centers that are destroying the concept of truth itself and murdering the environment.

    I figure it’s not going to be long before you are unable to tell the difference. Consider the rate at which you’ve had to go from “zero effort at all” to “it’s not hard to spot”.

    Which is why it’s important to starve them for attention, and thus ad revenue, now.
