Seems like this is the new fad everyone wants to make content making fun of these individuals with deep deep mental problems.
I don't like it, I know when I consumed "lolcow content" I was not in a good place at all and thought laughing at someone else misfortunes would make me feel better.
Everyone wants to make "Cyraxx" or "kingcobra" content on YouTube. I'm not saying these individuals are always the best of people, (they aren't) but well you guys know what I'm going say
Tldr lolcowcontent is not healthy for anyone and it's irritating how much it seems to have taken off recently
To be fair. I think you're right and maybe me clicking an amazing atheist video or random drunken peasant vid is making it seem bigger than it is.
Then again I was a scumbag a couple years ago and used to watch that kind of crap myself unfortunately (mostly to feel better about my own problems)
