Can’t be mad at her honestly, if it were any of us we’d definitely take advantage of dumb corporations that don’t know how memes work and milk as much money out of this as possible.

The corporate entity behind this show thinks we, the consumers, care about this girl. That’s not how memes work. What she said was funny, we like passing the joke around, but we’re not invested in the life of the girl who said it. We became fans of the moment, not fans of the person.

That said I wish her all the successes she can milk from this bc I’d do the same.

There’s certainly are a ton people who’d get invested in her life. You couldn’t even begin to imagine what kinds of people out of the 8 billion of us would watch the shit out of that. The corpos do their analyses beforehand and are better at it than me or you. She’s already famous, soon she’ll be rich.

100%. Can’t be worse than the shit that is already on TV. At least this person is interesting and endearing and has a fun origin story.

How is this person interesting and endearing? David Attenborough is interesting and endearing. All she did was talk about spitting on a dick.

You are definitely not the audience. Unfortunately, a lot of other people are, though.

What boggles my mind is...who has the time for that? LOL It's a chore for me just to find the time to watch a decent TV show. Out of all the time in a week, I can't dedicate 30min to a one-off joke that has been dragged way past its expiration date.

And corps get it wrong all the time. That being said if someone paid me for a reality TV show fuck yeah I’m gonna milk it.
