The dumbing down of the internet
Posted by mr_chill on October 1st, 2008
I have figured it out! I am going to build a website…..no wait, that would take effort and require a modicum of skill, not to mention what artistic talent might be involved, why invest all of that unneeded and most probably unappreciated baggage when I can just activate some prefab-notalent-hacksite that my host provides for free? Yea, that’s it, I’ll activate a (ahem) site that sells toilet paper. I’ll write several tutorials on how to wipe your ass or perhaps the ass of others, maybe a video or two and pow! Top of the SERPs! Best selling toilet paper selling (ahem) site on the internet! Why? Quality content, that’s why. If it has passed you by, and given the average IQ on the internet today, I’m sure it has, the internet, that tool of the brilliant minds that gave us quantum physics is not best used to teach the vast majority to wipe their asses but to sell toilet paper for crooks pretending to teach the vast majority to wipe their asses. All one really has to do is write some drivel that only slightly appears to resemble a tutorial and the search engines trip all over themselves trying to rank it up there with the Carl Sagen Cosmos series. They stick their noses in the air and proclaim their quest to provide only the best content to the one who matters most…the user, then they serve up the obvious in tutorial form masquerading as information. I think I need a vacation.
