When I was in highschool, we kids were very much preoccupied with being funny and interesting as people. Overhearing a conversation between two teenagers today, they seemed more preoccupied in talking about other peoples youtube videos and internet jokes that were funny and interesting, while they were certainly not laughing above a chortle and their actual conversation would most certainly not have received many "likes".
I'm not saying either way is right, but it did seem to me that being interesting in person matters far less, these days, than maintaining the appearance of being interesting online, where you can reach more people. One-on-one conversation seemingly delegated to arming yourself with technique in avatar management.
What do you think? Is your personality now measured with your favorites list?
Oh by the way, did you see that cat giving the thumbs up? It's very funny. You should definitely check that out.
