Is it my imagination, or has the quantity of bullshit on LPSG increased dramatically over the last few days? By bullshit, I mean blatantly faked photos and profiles, coupled (or not) with completely over-the-top "look at me, I'm eccentric/troubled/happy-go-lucky" posting personas?
Of course, there was always bullshit, but the quality of the bullshit used to be a lot better. There were fake photos, profiles, and personae, but they were subtle, better crafted, less obvious. Now, the bullshit jumps off the screen at you.
I propose that there must be a bullshit constant, such that if the quality of bullshit decreases, the quantity must increase, and vice versa. I'm not sure how to express this constant, given that quality and quantity can't be expressed in the same terms. Let me know your thoughts.
And I'm sure you'll let me know if this thread is bullshit, too.
