Does everything nowadays? I think the analogy to porn at least here is fitting. The idea porn as a word to mean "of no substance, for easy consummation, from morally questionable sources, to make a quick buck off desperate people" quite accurately describes all these "insight gurus", which to me are grifters.
- bowsamic 4y agoThat's not what it means. Look at subreddits like /r/historyporn or /r/earthporn. These do not mean porn in any kind of derogatory sense. It literally means nothing more specific than "lots of content that people like". It really does not carry a derogatory connotation, or at least it is most widely used in positive ways
- acuozzo 4y ago> It literally means nothing more specific than "lots of content that people like". I think it's a bit more than that, something like: "lots of content that people like and will waste a ton of time consuming for little hits of dopamine".
- bowsamic 4y agoThere is nothing on the subreddit that indicates that anyone considers it a waste of time to consume content there
- suction 4y agoYou're right, I wasn't aware of that usage. Another reason to keep avoiding Reddit like the plague.
