Today brings a special guest post from our resident clown, SideShowBob233, who has a rake to grind. Special thanks to SideShowBob233 for today’s post!
While there are some grifters out there who try to take private information for their own short lived personal gain (destroying both their standing and access to the community and also the death of the things they are selling), there are also some people who are addicted to imaginary internet points. While less of a toxic group than the grifters, they can result in the same death.
Imaginary internet points are the types of things you can get on places like reddit, where upvotes make the world go around. To be fair, before I learned how to dodge rakes I earned my share of imaginary internet points. I never knew enough in my reddit days to get a play killed (to my knowledge at least – and it helps me to forget things since I am an old clown who has taken 69 too many rakes to the face).
In smaller groups imaginary internet points are not calculated in upvotes, but in likes, thank yous, and other emojis. Often people share sensitive things are shared to show off their knowledge, or to make themselves seem important, or some are also just shared for no reason whatsoever that anyone with a degree from clown college can decipher. For whatever reason, the Joker has decided to hand out information via chosen randos instead of through direct means, resulting in a lot of these types of posts.
The result of handing out knowledge that isn’t widely shared is simple: death. So before you find yourself posting something that isn’t widely shared and also can’t tolerate a lot of volume, think about your motivation and whether your post will get it killed. And for the love of rakes, do not post in a way that makes people want to snoop around it and blow it up like a bathroom at a Home Depot. Remember loose lips sink ships, and those imaginary internet points don’t help you dodge a rake. IYKYK.
