Not to normies who are people people and love short form posts by "thought leaders" or more realistically celebrities and corpo brands (like sports teams or Taylor swift) they want to ape or consume products of.

They never visited forums and got on the internet through mobile phones and Facebook, so the format of Reddit is strange and unfamiliar to them.

It's always been this way and it's why twitter was/is way more popular than Reddit, the naturally pseudonymous throwaway nature of Reddit accs made it all seem too impersonal for most people.

They probably see the internet as a whole as a negative and they think everyone is just there for ads and twitter and getting their dopamine systems hijacked instead of just actually wanting to be here and getting some kind of value out of it. All protests to the contrary are only seen as proof of their own theories.

Everyone who's interested in tech be it fediverse, cryptocurrency or godforbid AI to them must be in it to make money because no normal person is interested in anything other than people and therefore must be a musk/zucc fan and is thus branded a tech bro.

These people vote in elections.

The combined powers of 10 burning man festivals couldn't build a stawman this big

Found the norman.

Write another long winded essay about how you're superior to hypothetical people who like different things than you. Shit's riveting.

You must be the coolest guy on 9gag

Nah I'm not bigoted or 14 enough, plus that's too normie of a website for me

You'd probably like it, it's just /b/ with less child porn. Actually maybe you wouldn't like it.

Oh I believe you, you seem to be quite the expert on CSAM.

What else? Gonna call me a groomer next? 'Terminally online'? Conservatives often end up accusing others of what they themselves are y'know.

Oh and hey there's no need to reply any further. You are in fact free at any time to log off and touch grass.

Yeah, just this morning I was talking to a dude who was going around calling people normies and expected me to respond with other played out internet insults

Nice, how did that go? What did you win?

Well sometimes you gotta take these fuckers down a notch or the whole internet will be nothing but hubris and angst

Agreed, I had the same thing happen in this very thread where some x-twitter user engaged in wilful ignorance instead of wanting to be educated on why so much of the internet is the way it is now, unlike how it used to be, and unlike what it could've been. I hope that person is alright and maybe touching grass now.
