Dear Folks,

 

After much soul-searching, I am at a loss to understand why I, unlike a select few, am not often considered to be a "Popular Contributor"?

 

So then, would anyone be willing to spill the beans about this?

 

Surely, it cannot be due to my BAD BREATH, or nothin'.

 

I mean, SURELY, you cannot smell me from where YOU are....

Right?

 

Must be many insignificant reasons, all balled up, into ONE BIG BALL OF WAX...is my thinking.

 

I sometimes wish I were more popular.

 

But then, being popular might mean pandering, something even more abhorrent to me than being popular.

 

Give me a LIKE, once in awhile, why don't you?

 

Thank you, and best regards,

 

Gamma

 

 

 

U r too mut.

Original thought is for the masses.

Simple really - moronic threads such as this are the reason...

Illogical.

 

Original thinking is NOT for the masses, one would have thought.

Actually, I really did not think too much about it.

 

What DID you mean, anyway...??

 

 

What channel are you on?

Channel ....

 

CLOUD 9....?

 

 

As is obvious you  need to post a lot and post about extreme political things that get reactions. Popular means tedious for me. Yawnfest. Look at the rogues gallery of popular posters. Hardly the cream of Asean Now.

Sorry.

I will be unable to follow your suggested strategies.

 

Still, I just want to be popular.

 

 

"Why am I NOT a "popular contributor" on TV?"

 

No point in worrying about something that you cannot do anything about, the most popular contributor of all time is me. the title is taken.

Popular means people react a lot to your comments.

 

Unfortunately, this means that people who write nonsense that almost no one agrees with can become a "popular contributor".  It doesn't mean you are in any way popular.

You know, Sir....

 

During past years, I have often wondered where you hail from.

 

Surely, this cannot be from Liverpool.....

 

Right?

 

================

 

Also, I am not exactly "worried"...but just feel a little bit....how do you say.....

 

Depressed?

Well GammaGlams, I’ve got a personal story for you to help cheer you up about your own little popularity complex. See, the last time I kicked the bucket, right before being reincarnated again, I ended up at the gates of hell. Not because I was some monster, naah bro, I just tried way too hard to get famous on AseanNow, where unpopular dreamers like us go to sweat. I mean, why I cared about getting likes from random, angry, old, drunk geezers in Thailand, I’ll never know.
 

Anyway, there I am, pleading my case at the gates of hell: “I don’t belong here! All I did was flood the place with clickbait garbage, half-baked rants, poorly composed and difficult to read, tangential drivel, YouTube music videos by the thousands that nobody asked for, and other assorted video links that barely made any sense!” Satan just stares at me, twirling his pitchfork, and goes, “Relax, hell’s not what you think. Mondays, we feast like kings, gorge on food, chug booze, no calories, no hangovers, no regrets.” I nod, thinking, “Okay, that’s not terrible.”

 

Then he perks up, “You like smoking weed?” I’m like, “Duh, who doesn’t?” He grins, “Tuesdays, you’ll love ‘em, puff all the ganja you want, lungs stay pristine, no cop raids, just smooth vibes.” I’m warming up to this. Then he leans in, “How about speed? You into motorcycles?” I shrug, “Sure, I guess.” He claps his hands, “Wednesdays, we race ‘em full throttle, no helmets, crashing’s half the fun, and you walk away without a scratch.” Now I’m picturing myself as some underworld MotoGP champ, so I’m like, “Keep going!”

 

He smirks, “You a gambling man?” I say, “Yeah, I’ve rolled some dice.” He lights up, “Thursdays, it’s Vegas down here: blackjack, poker, slots, you name it, stakes as high as you want, and you never go broke.” I’m thinking, “Jackpot!” Then he goes, “Ever jumped out of a plane?” I say, “No, not really.” He’s practically giddy now, “Fridays, we throw ourselves out, no parachutes, just free fall, splat, and pop back up like it’s nothing. Adrenaline’s free down here.” I’m sold, picturing hell as an extreme sports casino resort. Then he tilts his head and lowers his voice a bit and whispers in my ear, “Eh, so, you gay?” I blink, “Uh, no, why?” His grin widens, “Oh, then Saturdays are gonna royally suck balls for you mate.”

Up until fairly recently, plenty of site members were leaving critical but often constructive feedback on your posts. They suggested ways to improve your writing style, word flow, choice of topics, and overall engagement. If I remember correctly, you dismissed almost all of it outright. You acted as if you were above criticism, convinced that nobody truly understood your unique writing style, and that the issue was with everyone else, not you. It was pure ego, and you ignored the constructive input people took the time to give you.

 

Now, unsurprisingly, most people don’t even bother responding anymore. They’ve stopped engaging because they know you don’t listen and never did. And frankly, they don’t find your posts interesting enough to bother. So why should they engage at all? At this point, nobody really cares what you post or don’t post, and that’s why they’ve stopped responding, which, of course, was always your superficial measure of popularity. And yet here you are, starting a topic to complain that you’re not popular enough, when before, you wanted everyone to believe you were one of the most popular users on the site. You honestly can’t make this stuff up.

 

What this really proves is that you were never interested in contributing anything meaningful. You weren’t looking to have interesting discussions, you were only looking for a formula to game the system of popularity because you just wanted attention at any cost. You wanted validation from strangers, people you don’t know and will never meet in real life. And somehow, their opinions matter so much to you. How sad is that? How shallow?

 

I also remember your past posts raving about how this site was the best place for you, how you weren’t going anywhere despite some calling for you to stop posting such nonsense, how this was your space to express yourself freely, and whatever other drivel you were preaching at the time. But the reality is, your problem isn’t a lack of popularity on this website, it runs much deeper than that. You’ve made it clear you dislike other Western foreigners, you don’t want to leave your house, and you glorify Thai people but don’t actually want to interact with them. Maybe instead of obsessing over your posts and how people do or don’t react to them, you should consider addressing what’s really going on. Popularity here is the least of your problems.

All I saw was the heading, I  believe that most people are like me and have this option in effect;  You've chosen to ignore content by GammaGlobulin.    Awesome option as I don't have to read nonsense.

Awesome

 

When will we ever tire of the word, AWESOME?

 

Well, when the day comes....

it will not come soon enough for me.

 

AWESOME

 

One of the worst and least descriptive words in the modern English lexicon...IMHO
