The recent uptick in "lolcow" Content. (hexbear.net)

Seems like this is the new fad everyone wants to make content making fun of these individuals with deep deep mental problems.

I don't like it, I know when I consumed "lolcow content" I was not in a good place at all and thought laughing at someone else misfortunes would make me feel better.

Everyone wants to make "Cyraxx" or "kingcobra" content on YouTube. I'm not saying these individuals are always the best of people, (they aren't) but well you guys know what I'm going say

Tldr lolcowcontent is not healthy for anyone and it's irritating how much it seems to have taken off recently

The internet at this point is so segmented and full of islands. YouTube channels can have 67 million subscribers and yet be completely unknown outside of its regular viewers. The uptick you're seeing might be restricted to its own circle of viewers, maybe? Because I haven't noticed anything like that. Internet popularity manifests as weird bubbles that don't intersect.

But I could just be in a different bubble. I haven't noticed an uptick nor do I even know who Cyraxx or kingcobra are.

To be fair. I think you're right and maybe me clicking an amazing atheist video or random drunken peasant vid is making it seem bigger than it is.

Then again I was a scumbag a couple years ago and used to watch that kind of crap myself unfortunately (mostly to feel better about my own problems)
