It's extremely easy to notice. I'm surprised you didn't. It's heavily forced.

Is it? It seems incredibly forced to me.

railsjedi | karma 1564 | avg karma 6.89 · | 2012-07-28 05:10:43+00:00

hehe, yeah. it's a bit forced. but who cares right? :)

dpflan | karma 9608 | avg karma 4.04 · | 2018-03-30 15:14:26

I agree. It feels forced. But exposure is important.

jjeaff | karma 13640 | avg karma 2.31 · | 2018-04-18 08:47:08

I've noticed that. It seems rather blunt and unfeeling to me.

dwaltrip | karma 5864 | avg karma 1.93 · | 2016-06-06 20:12:52+00:00

I honestly thought it was a bit overdone and should have been more subtle. Meh.

I think it looks off putting, but it really depends on the audience.

m_mueller | karma 5900 | avg karma 2.12 · | 2014-10-18 14:33:18

I think the tone is intentionally aggressive - it drives clicks and spices things up - I was at least entertained.

jimktrains2 | karma 5467 | avg karma 1.89 · | 2013-11-26 00:06:13+00:00

While I agree the tone is extremely off putting, I think that's what it's getting at. By using what's being made, they'll be able to get the feedback you're talking about.

petercooper | karma 48277 | avg karma 5.12 · | 2011-02-22 08:46:50+00:00

You're right - I guess that's what I was trying to get at with the lack of subtlety. Or my standards have slipped.. ;-)

I'm not criticising it for being overwrought, rather that it is self-consciously attempting to be "elegant" in an unnatural way.

yantrams | karma 521 | avg karma 2.43 · | 2023-01-09 22:59:19

Thematically it’s pretty much on spot but stylistically nah. It needs to relax a bit and be a lot more informal / speechy and throw in some expletives here and there I suppose.

jessriedel | karma 20706 | avg karma 3.24 · | 2018-08-10 19:15:51

This was my first impression. I think your comment is constructive and wish people who feel different would explain why.

StavrosK | karma 1 | avg karma 0.0 · | 2011-08-24 09:06:29+00:00

I will agree with this. I think this one lacks subtlety.

cgh | karma 3034 | avg karma 2.81 · | 2021-09-01 09:58:40

Bland, soul-deadening consumerism is one of his major themes so what you noticed is intentional.

blacksmith_tb | karma 4448 | avg karma 1.65 · | 2021-07-27 19:38:21

I see what you mean, it's "going through the motions" without trying too hard, compliance but not enthusiasm.

bawolff | karma 19532 | avg karma 3.08 · | 2021-10-11 15:58:21

It's a bit rambly, but that seems more like a stylistic choice than a flaw.

sildur | karma 1139 | avg karma 2.84 · | 2020-06-07 19:46:40

It feels pompous to me.

cyberbanjo | karma 505 | avg karma 1.66 · | 2021-08-06 16:16:56

i think it's lack of expressive power will turn off newbies

vagrantJin | karma 1054 | avg karma 1.09 · | 2020-10-15 13:20:51+00:00

Yeah...the "lol" thing is off-putting though. Makes it feel like I'm reading an 11 year olds diary.
