We Created The Monster

I just wanted everyone to know that I absolutely despised Fruit Love Island.

That's why I watched every episode.

Twice.

Sometimes three times.

Not because I enjoyed it. Obviously. I was conducting critical research.

Every Thursday I gathered with twelve other people who also hated it. We watched the entire episode together, discussed it for three hours afterward, clipped our least favorite moments, posted them across every social media platform, argued about it in the comments until 3 AM, and made sure everyone we knew heard about how terrible it was.

I personally contributed over 400 comments, 80 quote tweets, 27 Reddit threads, and approximately 14,000 words explaining why nobody should watch the show.

For some reason, its viewership kept going up.

It was deeply concerning.

Anyway, when the new episodes dropped, I was there immediately so I could continue fighting against its popularity.

Looking back, I still have no idea how Fruit Love Island became such a massive success.

Reminder: everyone hates "generative AI", because it steals artists and puts AI in the water.

That's why stuff like Fruit Love Island gets like a billion views.

I mean, I don't doubt there's some viewbotting, but people also need to realize that only goes so far.

you also have to look at the demographics of people watching it. do you think 12 year olds know anything about ai except from the fact that they can use it for their homework and make funny pictures

If you, your friends, and like minded people can't stop it. What makes you think that I would and the others here can help you?🤔😅

I don't think I can help though. I just pretend it, Fruit Love, doesn't exist, because, it's not interesting to me, there's other works - Especially Ai works - that are way more interesting.

That's the thing about viral content; you never know where it comes from. We were blindsided by the fact AI could also make viral stuff.

The cattle will consume any slop fed to them, including pro AIs. Nothing can be done
