nobody of taste would stoop to think that some shit that's popular on web2.0 is good. the real problem is that people without taste think that they are good just because they're popular. this is a problem that is essential to the web itself, not just web 2.0 (though every incarnation facilitates it further).


i mean, it's no accident that the nerds of our generation are ten times more confident, aggressive and annoying than the nerds of our parents generation. there's a million things like this website to rub their backs and tell them they have worthwhile opinions.

4chan is really lame and i'm sorry that you don't understand why but maybe you should try hanging out with cooler/funnier/smarter people.
