It's so easy to tell a story. Any story. Here in internetland.
It's getting so I don't trust a single thing any of you people say.
It's like tower of babel part 2.
- pixl97 2y agoAnd it wasn't always easy to tell a story IRL? The term snakeoil salesman and yellow journalism is from far pre-internet days. If you thought the internet was going to be some magical where everyone told the truth you were already completely disconnected from reality. All the internet does is guide us to our little reality tunnels of the untruth that we enjoy best.
- swayvil 2y agoWith the magic of social media everybody can be a snakeoil salesman now. And will. Apparently everybody is just a snakeoil salesman waiting for the opportunity to push their dreams and politics. So now we have a million-strong chorus of snakeoil salesmen 24-7. I'd call that a big difference.
