You're looking for a logical explanation where there simply isn't one.Funkybot's Evil Twin wrote: ↑Fri Apr 23, 2021 4:36 pm It's amazing to me how much time some people spend posting about synths they claim to have no interest in [due to the simplicity]. Do you think they're getting paid off by these companies? "Hey Bonesy...we'll give you a bunch of NFR's if you drive engagement on KVR by talking about how stupid we are for releasing such a simple synth or whatever. Gets the post count way up and more eyeballs on the ads!"
Otherwise, it'll never make any sense why someone would bother. It's like constantly calling your ex to say you're over them and don't care anymore. Uh...no, if you REALLY didn't care, you wouldn't be engaging.
He's a narcissist, plain and simple. He must assert his opinion, and its superiority over all others, anywhere and everywhere, and the more places, the better for the needs of his out-of-control ego.
It's why he shows up in threads about synths he "doesn't care at all about" and then posts endlessly, stokes fires deliberately, never misses an opportunity to reply to anyone who disagrees with him (which of course will be many, and he knows this from the start). The entire focus is redirected away from the content of the thread and back to the individual, and he wins again. What he wins, of course, is nothing of any value: just more attention, more people looking at his statements, more people arguing and shouting and him knowing, "I did this, this is about me." And yeah, I'm playing into it by writing this, of course....
Cue now the usual enabling/gaslighting trolls who will say "jeeeez, just skip the posts if you don't like them, YOU are actually the problem for not just ignoring him and moving on." They do that, I'd guess, because they also like to feel superior to everyone else; they understand the master-narcissist's tactics and silently approve of them. So it's not the fault of the guy who persistently shows up to make everything about him; it's the fault of everyone else around him. Classy.
Anyway, carry on.
