I disagree. Saying that the internet loves something is similar to saying that "information wants to be free" or that a certain material is "hydrophobic". None

I disagree. Saying that the internet loves something is similar to saying that "information wants to be free" or that a certain material is "hydrophobic". None of these things are "sentient" and so can't have opinions, desires, or fears, right? Well, maybe but what gives us "sentient" beings opinions, desires, fears, etc? I reckon it's just some kind of emergent phenomena. Well, the internet's "love" of cat photos is similar to this. Probably.
