I like your argument, but are you equating meme to slop? If not, what discriminates these classes? What about the occasional meme that just really tickles your funnybone? Is that an aesthetic choice?

Jesse Suchmann

ok but seriously though why did the end credits make me tear up?

caprifoglio

king hipster posted another report

Joey Shuster

hawk tuah!

Dave Morin

So good. As always.

Martin Lockheed

You whittled my hate for now into a sharper point, but now where does it go?

Jake Bowling

Damn twin peaks spoiilees Zirp seems like 30% causal vs other plausible 2008 policies, a lot of this would probably be happening anyway

Krazy Lowbster

Why is research chems in the description lmao

Krazy Lowbster

Dude keep talking I’m about to cum!

Nikita Chigoho

Iconic video

Michael Neiss

Banger. I esp loved the way hipsters are responding to slop. And the ending edit was awesome.

Dier

Masterpiece, congrats

Cameron McManus

Love the "austerity as abundance" framing at the end when referring to the ZIRP era. Hearing the Ezra Kleins of the world propose continued deregulation makes my skin crawl.

surrealducks

Agreed, this is really insightful.

Ewe

Liz Pelly’s writing is so good and so scary

liza

sooooo goood thanks braddddd

Zoe K

Is "Why does Severance refuse to acknowledge ukraine's war" a real article? Inquiring minds need to know

Eli Balmer

Text accompaniment would be very much appreciated

Dante Adams

Very cool, can we get a text summarisation of your points? I got a bit lost in there

Blake

This one for sure just changed my life. Well done.

Mathias Fruhmann

Percy Hatcherson

The Ocky Way as in the chopped cheese?

Erika Braukis

J’adore the slop bot report

Dylan

Explaining the sheer state of it, in another 50 glorious mins 👏

Luke Thighwalker

I’m feeling depressed. I love MLG memes, but I never considered what they are a symptom of. Still will keep loving and making them, but damn. Banger music video and song at the end. Thanks Brad

Aidan Lyerly

when the prestige crops have dried up and yield no return, the hipsters turn to tending the slop, enhancing the slop, mimicking the slop even, in hopes of becoming breaded up enough to make their own prestige factories.

Paul Boon

Surprised there was no mention of AI

avery parkway

i've been writing something with this whole aura for a magazine i'm a part of and some of these lines are opening things up like crazy

Oli Eks

Damn. totally

Maxkreyzy123

Thank you for your report. This too shall pass, hopefully

CUSTARD MANIAC

🎉🎉🎉🎉 gggggfld se 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰

Sarah Gold

Extraction hinges on filtration/distillation. You can pack a lot of fiber into pasta if you boil it in its own sauce. Thank you for the nice meal! We love that you grow your own 🥥🍚🫚

garf garfsson

great work but also makes me terrified for our future. even just on an economic level, how can this keep going without descending into hell

Casey Smith

100% correct. Lived through the the full cycle at a unicorn tech company. I hope you're right about this moment just being a short phase in history.

Adam

some of these slop illustrations are so insane i had to pause the video until i stopped laughing

Zach Lathouris

Might be the best one yet man 10/10

SHAUMBÉ

Ian Maverick

“private innovation over public institutions” 😮‍💨😮‍💨😮‍💨

Goose

Ryan Qualls

We makin’ it out of the pod living with this one

Henry Murphy

Utter excellence. Thanks for the salve, Brad.

Anthony Gorczyca

He’s done it again

Max

incredible work as always

Harry

We live in a post hipster proliferation of genre which has made possibilities endless and incomprehensible. Which I think is great, but it might mean the end of zeitgeist.

Sebastien Robichaud

This is, in my humble opinion, your best report yet. Thank you for this important work.

Sean Williams

I truly appreciate your work. While we are all familiar with the cycle of culture/businesses being created, financialized and hollowed out, the effects of this process on social media have been both blatant and insidious. In a time of unregulated monopoly we find ourselves gasping for air in this slop, and yet another well timed report has given me oxygen and clarity. Thanks again.
