bb is liked by everyone. Why is she in this thread?

It's like those philanthropic Victorian women who used to visit the poor, have a good chin wag with them and slip them a few bob. And anyway it's hard to find a thread that she isn't in.

My lack of mutual need.
And thus lacking sympathy.

Anyone can feel ignored.
Anyone can feel alienated.
Anyone can feel anxious.
Anyone can feel like an imposter.

But not a lot dissonates.
Ever rarer, almost never resonates.

Anyone can see parallels.
Anyone can see differences.
Anyone can jump into relatedness.

But not... Quickly outgrowing, outpacing...
Anyone can get stuck...
But not knowing the odds of finally moving on.

After 6502 posts this had probably been posited, but what would happen if someone became popular on the unpopular thread? ;-)

I’m reminded of a song by a local band “Mad Tea Party” entitled “Never Was a Cool One”. I’ve never been popular in my life, always an outsider, and only truly happy when I am by myself in the wilderness.

I don't want to be popular. I just want a few people to like me and everyone else to tolerate me

(I'm too oblivious to know whether I'm popular on WP but my guess is not)

^ Same here. By the way, what specific parameters are intended make somebody popular or not? How we actually define "being popular"?

I don't know either if you are or if I am for that matter, but for sure I wasn't a "WP celebrity" on my first minutes here. So far I haven't feel dismissed because of being new or having low post count or anything, neither saw anyone getting ignored for that. Is this thread really relevant nowadays?

Some posts go indeed unnoticed (or we just think so) but I see it's rather because
- of it's lower signal-to-noise ratio; I mean, well-built response obviously will attract more attention than one saying "opasjkfoiewnm Headcrab Jambalaya"
- it touches some obscure topic
- it's a side note / post that makes further discussion impossible
- simply bad luck

How would we determine popularity anyways?

My first instinct would be to say a wrestling competition but the primary issue with that is that online it would pose logistical difficulties.

I like your approach. I wonder which of us are faces and which are heels.

Hmmm…. That is an intriguing question… :chin:

With our usernames, I think we’d have to be heels.
