< blogging via typewriter? How about writing via file-transfer?

~inquiry

I can't remember the last time I downloaded a video, mainly for essentially never encountering anything worth more than a partial viewing to me. In other words, I"m usually bored and/or rolling my eyes less than a minute into almost every video I watch anymore.

And text is catching up with that, btw. I mean, I got a little caught up in the hope/dream of "smol" spaces somehow being gardens above average writing. But reality eventually caught up with my delusion.

So I still visit varieties of gopher and gemini places (aka "hoping against hope"), but the rate of encountering "wow" content there not seems no different/better than in "web" spaces. In fact, I'm starting to suspect it's worse given the snail-unto-hardened-concrete pace of "smol" posting.

But I think I fully understand the posting pace, because I believe it's reflected in reads/replies. It's just not a very interactive crowd (although it seemingly loves to call itself a "community" despite hardly interacting...).

I'm hundreds of miles past "wow". Lol. If I saw a guy win a trillion dollars while he back flipped from a helicopter, escorted by naked women, while the helicopter exploded in the background, while professing how "you can do the same" (thinking of this. I am sure this video exists), I still wouldn't bat an eyelash.

Like Bare Naked Ladies "It's All been done before" (RIP the one hit wonders of the late 90s)
