Boring Lolcows who you don't get the appeal of

  • 🐕 I am attempting to get the site runnning as fast as possible. If you are experiencing slow page load times, please report it.
I don't really know much about him, so I won't pass judgement on whether or not he's a "true lolcow" or whatever (he probably is tbh), but I don't understand how KidBehindACamera still has dedicated a-logs from the edgy 2016 Skype-centric pseudo-hacker sphere. It's just baffling to me the dedication to what is at best a mid-tier vlogger.

Similarly, the Britbong thread is almost exclusively filled with a-logs focused on deplatforming Dominic or (arguably) engaging in life ruination tactics. I won't argue that Dominic hasn't more than earned it with his own engagement in those activities, but it's still bizarre to me the level of dedication these people have towards fucking with a washed up Second Life troll turned e-beggar/shitty livestreamer - I guess that's what happens when you catch the attention of /cow/ and have a well-documented online history over a decade long.

The Zoe Quinn thread is the worst one on the forum for me.
Her failed Chuck Tingle Kickstarter had serious potential to be funny, or at least very interesting. Instead the entire thread is pages of boring A-logs whinging endlessly about her having sex.

Spoony. I got it back when he was still making videos and sperging out at people. But the only thing he's really done is sadpost on twitter for the past 3 or so years.

He was boring until he lost his girlfriend, house and dog... and he had to move back to Arizona to continue his pathetic life and being boring again...

Granted he draws cows to himself like flies to shit so there is that.

Doug Walker is kind of...KIND OF a lolcow. He's a sub-par content creator who makes a lot of cringey material, has done a lot of controversial shit, has declined in quality greatly since his heyday, but I wouldn't outwardly label him as someone being so terrible that they deserve to be relentlessly mocked. There was Demo Reel, Pop Quiz Hot Shot, Change the Channel, and the whole Pink Floyd: The Wall clusterfuck...but these aren't enough to make me write him off completely like I did with Quinton, Fantano, or Linkara (who are all talentless hacks who are shitty and were never good to begin with). It's kind of a gray area.

For Doug, I feel similar to current year AVGN, but I at least try to give James the benefit of the doubt and still gladly anticipate his new episodes. With Doug on the other hand, I don't hate the guy but I also couldn't care less when he comes out with a new video. With James, I blame The Slobs. With Doug, I blame Doug.

ngl anything gamergate related is a hard snoozefest, like even people who were involved in gamergate who *are* fun to laugh at all have funnier moments outside the "movement"

It had some moments, especially when half the players were already memes in some aspect. I remember following the DIGRA conspiracy and being like "lel, I've seen this cunt before". But I agree, most of the good stuff was well after the fact when the grifting and the meltdowns reached critical mass.

DSP used to be somewhat engaging, but after reading a good few pages of it I just couldn't get into it and decided to stop.

Half of the cookie-cutter trans threads consists of a-logging and the same people and jokes over and over. There's rare instances of where I'd consider them actual lolcows, but half of the time it's just people pearl clutching at someone who's a milquetoast nobody.

What do you guys think would make a cow hold your interest for a long time? Is there anyone that does it for you? I usually just move on to another topic or cow when I get bored of them.
Maybe one that isn't repetitive and ups the anti (ante?) at a decent rate? Chris-chan has been boring for a long time but the reason he was so entertaining for years was because of the trolls constantly getting him to do insane shit, and the whole mother raping saga has been one of the most out there things I've seen someone do, so he became interesting again (if for a brief moment).

I don't get KingCobraJFS or DSP. Their streams are largely nothing happening, and I just can't understand why anyone would find them interesting.

With Philburt after a while I think a lot of detractors develop a sort of odd relationship where he isn't "interesting", but he is familiar. In fact I'll repost what I said at the beginning of the new DSP general thread:
Guys, now that there's a new thread I have to admit something: I love Philburt.

He's so self obsessed, anyone else would have thoughts and opinions on the world that might create dissonance. They'd be affected by things outside their door. Not Phillip. He's incapable of processing anything that doesn't relate to him, so he doesn't know anything to make you feel intellectually threatened; he's in a sexless marriage with his horse wife so you don't have to feel insecure that you don't get laid; he's a hermit so you don't have to feel bad that you have no friends; he's practically geriatric at 40 so you never feel physically intimidated; no matter how much he makes he spends every cent on mobile games/takeout/gin so you don't have to feel bad that you're broke...

In a world where change only ever accelerates, Philburt's static being is like an aberration of nature, a singularity floating unnoticed by the public in a crusty office of a house in a gated community in Washington. Like Mr. Roger's neighborhood you can always return and things will be no different than when you left them, the denizens always ready to welcome you back and tell you about how there was clearly nothing they could do and it would be great if we could hit the tips goal because they have some really big bills coming up.

Philburt is my rock (albeit an extremely algea covered, gross, smelly rock with tons of trash and empty beer bottles scattered around) and I'm not ashamed to say it.
He's a consistent easy to understand entity, surrounded by a revolving cast of cringeworthy weirdos.

Guys like Tom Tooter or Cynthia Hanson hold attention mainly because they've been coming to this site fighting with users for over a half decade. It's an individual's dedication to proving people wrong that is the secret ingredient imo.

I don't know how to put it, but I like cows who don't change, yet they do it in spectacular ways. Like Chibi, who's thread was basically dead, yet he managed to revitalize it enough with his autism to get a dedicated following. Or Patrick Tomlinson, who's routine is just tweeting the same inept shit over and over again, yet he manages to file lolsuits and get banned from Twitter by doxing his "stalker". Or Bryan Dunn, who is the same annoying sperg from GG days, yet somehow while being beyond washed-out he crawls back into the spotlight with shit like his fake fight with Ralph.
There is something fascinating about those, yet someone like DSP, Chris before The Merge and YandereDev, they all shined brightly, but now there is nothing interesting about them. DSP is circling the drain like he's been for the last 4 years, Alex is still "working hard" on his vaporware and Chris is just in prison.
 
Spoony is so boring that his thread for years now has been about some fat chick on twitter who doesn't know him but tweets at him.

The average KF user is more of a cow than Doug, TBH.

Yeah, if having shitty opinions or tweeting is all it takes to be a cow, then really we need a website for who ISNT a cow. People being TMI retards online is kind of mainstream and normie now. Boomer politicians do it.
