We must choose the “longest way round” because meaning is neither fast nor viral nor optimized.
It’s made. Slowly. Painfully. Honestly.
By humans.

yeesssssss
It takes yesterday’s trends, remixes them with today’s keywords, and spits out tomorrow’s mediocrity. It’s not thinking. It’s rehashing. Recursively, regurgitatively, relentlessly.

this, too. this is also how i’m feeling about how people are “writing” on the internet
What gets clicks becomes what gets made. The edges get sanded down. Originality gives way to imitation. Junk food wins, so everyone starts cooking crap.
