*THIS* why isn't this #1 ?? ( also think it should read : other people staging fake lives. )

it's not a truck, it's not a car, it's not beautiful, it's not useful, it's ...... a status symbol. nothing more.

Oh, come on. It's not *all* reboots and remakes!! There are loads of sequels as well.

I don't care to watch shows of people behaving badly. I can talk to my family for that.

YES! I can't stand any of that trash. It's not real so why should I get emotionally invested in it?

The perfect reality TV show from a TV executives point of view (I am assuming Australian ones but probably equally applicable to other countries) would involve a group of unmarried celebrities renovating a kitchen, then cooking a meal, dancing and singing for a group of judges (presided over by a supposedly successful businessman), with the lowest scorer being kicked off the island. I'm surprised no one hasn't done it already

I still enjoy Survivor, but it's becoming more obvious every season that there's a lot of work being done on the contestants behind the scenes. 15 days in, and the ladies' hair & make-up are still perfect, everyone looks shower-fresh, and while I knew that they didn't choose their own outfits (had a co-worker whose best man from her wedding was on one season, and she said he *hated* the tank top they made him wear), they are far too color-coordinated by team these days. (Edited to correct subject/verb derpage)

Time to bring back real entertainment shows either people who have talent.

I call them the shows with the best friends who all hate each other...

There's very little that's real in Reality TV. Almost every interaction is scripted, scenes are re-shot for heightened drama, and viewers votes don't actually count for much in shows like Survivor. Producers also tend to fill the roster with weirdoes, with only a smattering of normal people to maintain some level of sanity. Ultimately, we end up watching a bunch of nutjobs yelling at each other over trivial or made up issues, as orchestrated by the shows' creators.

I watched "alone". Nature survival aspect keept me interested. I can't do the dating shows, it's just to many fake people.

People have no meaningful lives

Trying to think of the worst example... Gwyneth Paltrow has to be pretty bad. Shaquille O'Neil has a podcast?!? Why? Daniel Radcliffe has a podcast. Kim Kardashian has one. Again, why? For me the absolute worst is Dr. Phil. His advice is BAD and his show is bad. No idea why anybody bought into this charlatan.

Yes, BP certainly worships at the altar of Taylor Swift, Beyonce et al despite our repeated downvotes

For the love of god, WHY do I want a 40oz (1.2 liter !!!) cup. Do I look like i'm traveling with a family of 17 and sharing one cup without any chance of refill ?? (yes, picture shows 30oz, but looking them up, internet promotes 40oz first)

If you call yourself an influencer, I already don't like you.

At first it seemed like a "healthier" way of smoking, and potentially a way to step away from a dangerous and disgusting habit. But now we know better.

Yeah you are so NOT sticking needles into my face.

I actively refuse to call it X

The smart to stupid ratio among celebrities is the same as any other demographic. Some of them make rational points grounded in facts. And some of them shoot up cases of beer.

But grandpa's white hood will go to waste otherwise...

(reads thread title) (reads post) (rereads thread title) DUDE! If you have zero interest in posting YOUR life on social media then stop posting it. Problem solved. But kudos to you for having the self confidence to think your life postings are super popular. /j "People Share 43 Things That Are Super Popular Right Now That They Have Zero Interest In"

Even worse though are, *shudder* Mullets

Making stupid people famous in general

OP has such a good point about how much the hype over generative AI has taken all the air in the room. When I started writing about advances in machine learning a few years ago the attention was on a far broader range of applications. The work is still going on ofc (from medical diagnostics to smart weapons) but the conversation is all about the chat bots and fake artists.

They found a way to monetize it, and they took it. And now it's to the point that everyone thinks they have something. Don't get me wrong, I'm all for taking care of yourself as well as your demons, but it seems to have turned into a contest/excuse with most people.

Don't go to stadiums and visit festivals/small clubs instead. Better sound, better price

Youtube suggested videos recently invited me over to the dark side. I watched a suggested video and it turned out to be a pirated children's movie. Now it keeps suggesting more and more pirated content. Movies, collections of adult cartoons like Robot Chicken, Family Guy, American Dad and so on. They seem to have some interesting techniques for at least temporarily avoiding the copyright bot.

Crypto I get but "trading"? Some version of the stock market and trading have been around forever and will continue to. Investing in stocks is a more modern approach but trading goods has likely been around since the first humans.

Look like huge caterpillars!

Sports.

I have a feeling it is going to ruin the actual story... My kids want to see it, I don't want to see how they massacre it

It's not something that would interest me but how is is different than watching sports?

If you mean Crocs, I agree, they really don't look pretty. However, I received Crocs as a gift some time ago and wear them around the house. They provide a secure grip and are non-slip, which is important at my age when I go down the stairs. Looks aren't everything.

Refusing to learn what your step kid's interests are is a good way to keep them away from you.

Wrastlin' does it better anyways

I kind of enjoy "Fly on the Wall with Dana Carvey and David Spade Podcast" They interview SNL alumni and guests and tell backstage stories and memories. And they are kind about it.

That depends on your taste. You either love it or hate it, very few inbetweens. And it is quiet healty (If you don't load it with sugar)

You mean unboxing or cooking ASMR?

No idea who this is

"you haven't found the right one" some people just don't like podcasts. let them be,

Who's that?

The gambling doesn't bother me in general, but I really don't like how the apps are being advertised.

Again how is this different than sports?

Ok I like whiffle tennis! That’s funny! Especially since it keeps autocorrecting to waffle tennis.

It's a Scandinavian thing

Bike shorts is what we called them when I was younger. Now I don't call them anything because I'm too fat and would never wear them. :)

Once you play one CoD you've played them all. What I don't understand are the Faze titles with the random-seeming names. Faze Rug, Faze Lamp, Faze Swamp, Faze Hula Hoop. I know it has something to do with CoD and getting the most kills or rank. Something like that. But talk about making a game rank your whole personality.

This is the only one I'll disagree with on this list so far. I enjoy anime, however I don't use it as my entire personality.

Live and let live on all spectrums. You do you, I'll do me, and we can be a big ol' happy family.

How about people guilttripping you into having them?
