It is rather interesting to ponder that it is an accepted truism that "good news doesn't sell"... and yet I am finding that things like #3GoodThings, #Bloomscrolling and #Caturday are FAR from boring.

I suppose it is that mainstream media are catering to the prurient desire for gossip.

@kerravonsen gossip for profit, yes. that's our news media.

and their gossip for money at industrial scale is social degradation for profit.

(just to describe things as they are.)

I suppose our alternative is community for enjoyment.

and at large scale (I doubt it can be industrialised) that is social progress for enjoyment.

which is objectively the better option. I think both your observation and your priorities are beneficial to every living human being. so... congratulations 🤌🏆
