This is an unhealthy amount of rage to feel about a random person doing something random on the internet
- Retr0id 2mo agoIt might not be a productive emotion, but I think it's completely normal to be experiencing it.
- al_borland 2mo agoI don’t think it’s about this single random person, but the larger trend it represents. It’s everywhere now, and it shows a general lack of care and craft.
- someguyiguess 2mo agoIt’s certainly not new. These sorts of “look at me” slop projects existed long before modern LLMs
- anigbrowl 2mo agoIt's not a random person doing something random though. It's bait leveraging two very hot brands (Fable! Harry Potter!) and gluing them together with the the most clichéed, of-the-moment ad copy prose style. I don't hate the project or the brands particularly, but you have to be living under a rock not to be aware that social media is absolutely awash in this sort of content. You've always wondered what would happen if Thing You Like had existed alongside Other Thing You Like. They called you crazy. They told you it could never happen. They were wrong. For the first time, Thing and Other Thing together - just like you imagined. It's not fiction. It's not a dream. It's real, and you can have it now - today. Thing Other Thing.

I don't feel as activated about it as OP, but only because I've already opted myself out of this media landscape as much as possible. I think it's perfectly natural to be hostile towards such overt hijacking of one's limbic system. Modern marketing is incredibly toxic.

- wpm 2mo agoIt did!
