I recently went to go watch the Bob Marley: One Love movie in theatres with my mom. We wanted to go watch the movie as she would play me Bob Marley’s music when I was growing up, playing a big influence in both of our lives. We thought it would be a great mother-daughter bonding moment. Boy when I tell you that movie, much like every movie I watch in theatres, left me flabbergasted after watching it through.

We’re just pigs at a trough, slopping and having our snouts doused in industrial brown liquid that we not just consume, but find the meaning of alienated life through. And now in the age of fandomization, we pigs can use the internet to tell TV writers and content creators what WE want our slop to taste like! Happily mixing our pigshit in with the slop already fed to us.

Online entertainment media has created a want for novelty only if it is within the relations of trust, the insane level of intimacy they have built with their pre-existing objects of consumption. It’s a form of engagement with already consumed media that thumbnails function to. A thumbnail’s role is in complete relation to trust.
