get rich quick!
So I am one broke bitch. I was thinking that I could just do something really awesome/retarded and post a video of it on the Interwebs, then have it go viral, and I could make some t-shirts or some other memorabilia to rake in some extra cash. BRILLIANT.
Like Double Rainbow guy. Or a thousand other insane people who do something that in all reality isn't that spectacular, but bored bitches (like me) on the Internet find it amazing or hilarious...mostly hilarious...and now this dude will go down in history. Seriously, how does this happen? How can one predict the internet?
IT'S NOT POSSIBLE.
However, it's pretty much guaranteed that if you are certifiably crazy, your video or whatever will go viral and your 15 minutes of internet fame will commence.
The only downside is that the internet is unstable and ravenous. The public at large, face to face, is a harsh mistress, indeed. But the internet public is a million times worse. They are protected by anonymity and will devour you alive much like a hoard of piranhas. They don't hear your screams, they only know that they're hungry. That is the internet. They don't give a flying fuck about your feelings, they only know that they want to be entertained. And sometimes, if not most of the time, the majority of the internet is entertained by cruelty.
So in retrospect, I suppose that internet popularity isn't so great after all. If you can handle the massive amounts of hatred and bullshit, then you have arrived. I have a lot of respect for the ones who have arrived and stayed for an extended period of time.
