This is some meta shit right here
That's funny because meta (Facebook) does this with their "ai" it goes into groups and poses random questions to generate engagement.
Now it’s double meta
Now all someone needs to do is ask "Is this a meta community" to do a triple meta!
It'd be really meta if I had posted this to bait people into engagement... But I don't think I did. I'd like to know, so it's just meta on one level. 😅
I was always under the impression that people made those posts because they wanted to announce to the world what they think the best of whatever thing it was, is, and why their opinion of said thing is the most correct. And that they didn’t really care what other people wrote after that in the comments. But that could just be my cynicism.
Thanks, that's thoughtful. I definitely need to factor that in (more) when speculating about other people's motivations on the internet 😅 But yeah, I occasionally do it, too.
