Once upon a time, people actually discussed things. Humans used their brains instead of just SPEWING ABSOLUTE FUCKING NONSENSE. You’d go into a BTS MV comment section in 2018 and actually find some theories about different aspects of the mv and even some really fucking unhinged comments thirsting over someone's eyebrows . There were psychological breakdowns of lyrics, references to HYYH storyline continuity, and random stuff like that But now its an annoying place filled with of rotting streaming goals and copy-paste brainlessness. Every third comment is just “Who’s here in 2025? 🫶💜” like congratulations, you are in fact here in 2025. Would you like an award for your groundbreaking contribution to humanity? “Be yourself because yourself is yourself.” or "You're not ugly, it's society blah blah"– Kim Namjoon probably (no, he didn’t say that, Susan, he has an IQ of 148, he forms actual sentences and its funny how its always namjoon lmao). Or the tragic motivational comment: “If you’re sad, eat ice cream 🍦 BTS loves you 💜 like if agree.” Thank you,I was considering existential collapse until your ice cream emoji cured me and liking your comment has increased my goddamn lifespan Scrolling through the comments is just getting so futile because in the end i only find“STREAM GOAL: 1B BY NEXT MONTH LET’S GO ARMY 💜💪” floating around. No one discusses symbolism, narrative links, choreography intention, or music production layers anymore because apparently it’s all about mindlessly hammering replay to fulfil a streaming quota that absolutely nobody outside the fandom cares about. And I get the fact that streaming is important and it's business and they actually care about being famous but bro, it's tiring, i wish we had like websites which kept streaming goals cuz the comment section is so tiring And the worst part is the delusion. These comments genuinely think they are achieving something noble by suffocating the entire section with carbon copy goals and “2025 anyone??” as if anyone cares that you, a random user, are alive right now. I am well aware that this entire post made me sound like an insufferable bitch but I got tired alright? I am a very nice person but this made me a bit mad But sure. Keep at it, people. submitted by /u/weirdly_aristocratic [link] [comments]
