trend – TruXter Tech

Old school news sources have consumed the social networks

When the news tells you what is currently trending on twitter. Check the sources. Go to the trend page and see what the majority of the accounts that started posting (within the past couple hours)are. See if they are account bots. Programs that are created to post the same or a variation of maybe 4 different phrases, and then change to another bot account and make a same or similar post.
Of course it’s twitter and every “jet set” hipster will run to twitter and see this beginning to trend, and they will make nonsense posts that they (the hipsters) feel relate to the topic and will post something about it for the laughs and popularity of being first.
but seriously people. quit letting old media tell you what is cool or popular.

Don’t trust reddit either. Same crap goes on there too.

They figured out how everyone chats on them. They brought in teams of people who have spent years on these sites and use it to manipulate trends with 100’s of accounts per intern/employee. These people are people who have been using those sites since they were kids, working for people who never actually had the time to study them. Sad part is, these kids will never get the job, because they need new fresh brains each year.

If by chance you have been under a log eating millimites for the past 6 years or so. Youtube is a place where people can upload a video to be served across the internet. For years it was basically like America’s funniest home videos and MTv meshed together. sounds cool? actually it kinda was. A zillion videos of guys getting kicked in the junk and Metallica songs. But now there is a new world. Everyone on Youtube seems to be a news announcer. But they all seem to follow the same exact fashion. They record the entire news reel, then cut in scenes to animate the section. i don’t mean cartoons, I mean some sort of cartwheel or they pause the recording, then stick their face way into the camera and make a look of “uh hmm, I see what you are doing there” then they pause the video regain posture and start the video again carrying on the news as if they never stopped. On top of that, they do the whole dang thing talking/yelling at the top of their lungs. I mean really.. We do have volumes on the computer and on the speakers, you really do not have to yell. Welcome to the internet….. Moron….I can only watch about two or three of those videos before I start feeling like the world should have a law against mass repetition.

Example 1 done well… kinda . Seems to be a pretty good music blogger doing a video.

Example 2 , this kind makes me insane. It’s a (bare with me on this, it’s going to hurt when you try and wrap your head around how stupid and very useless this is) a guy, on youtube, telling you about a video on youtube. He actually put the words “raw footage” in the name and does not understand why people get offended when they see him in the video.

Now the oldschool, was a.d.d

Example I know this video is new and very 4chan/reddit feeling. Good. That’s the way it used to be. You have to be on the news to know the news and the humor in it. It happens very very fast.

Ok, so what. This is a pointless rant. It will solve nothing. and the next re-run will take over sooner or later.

Just would be nice if they would do something new…. soon
