Does anyone know why I can't find the English version of this[1] Wikipedia page? Seems relevant. [1] https://de.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bummer https://de.m.wikipe

  Because it mostly looks like book promo rather than something that needs a separate Wikipedia page. It's not a widely used term and should likely be tossed from German wikipedia as well. It would make sense in a page about the book or the author.

  It doesn't exist in English Wikipedia. If you find this weird, my guess is this acronym must have gotten more (mainstream?) attention in Germany (despite being in English). I've never heard of it and I don't think it's common where I am (Canada). Sometimes people coin terms and they get picked up in some places, but not others. When I lived in Germany and the Netherlands, it was often surprising to me which foreign terms/concepts/artists get elevated to mainstream relevance. There's a lot of imported culture from English speaking countries, but it's through a specific filter. Here's an English source from the article you shared though: https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2018/may/27/jaron-lanier-six-reasons-why-social-media-is-a-bummer https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2018/may/27/jaron-lan...
