Do you come to KF for the lolcows?

This is something I've wondered since I've seen some people say they don't come to Kiwi Farms for the lolcows, but just for the off-topic boards.

I probably haven't followed a lolcow consistently since, well, when Susan Schofield had her second appearance on Dr. Phil a year or two back. Ever since then, I just haven't had a lolcow I wanted to follow regularly.
 
I came here because I wanted more information on the incompetent crusade against Vic Lasagna. Most, if not all, WW subjects aren't as funny (if they're funny at all) as they are disgusting.

That aside, I've followed a few threads about figures whose content I've consumed or am otherwise aware of, but that's not too many people.

I ended up primarily settling into what's currently known as A&N... and promptly forgot how to read.

I hope I'm making a relevant response to what you're asking.
 
I came to this site to learn about what’s been going on with a lot of online figures. Fredrick Knudsen got me interested in this place after he mentioned it off handed ly and I did research. But I didn’t expect this place to be so heavily moderated. I can’t send a message without it going through a review process. I guess it’s to make sure people don’t say something really dumb or derail a chain.
 
I use it to track various content creators I've had an interest in. Only Lolcow I specifically watch because he's a lolcow is Ethan Ralph, but before the Faith saga I actually enjoyed the Killstream. Now, seeing him continue to make terrible decision after terrible decision is my white trash soap opera.

I have a scrolling RSS feed news ticker at the top of my screen so if I see a topic I find interesting scroll by (like this one) I'll check out the thread. The ticker has actually worked the best specifically with Kiwifarms because of the large amount of daily traffic.
 
I joined because I was missing good old fashioned Internet drama and wasn't disappointed.
Now I come here for Greer and for some reason the cunty deathfats still manage to be interesting even though they do nothing but be fat, and cunty. And I'll check in on a few other cows, too.

Took me quite a while to explore the general discussion and A&N but I do end up there once I'm caught up on the cows. And I guess I'd miss it if it disappeared. If I run out of cows to watch I guess at this point I'd keep coming back for the off topic boards. It's the only online community I'm a member of these days.
 
Not at all. Personally, I can't understand it. Cyber stalking randos on the internet just seems to me just as skeevy and loser-like as the people themselves. I've thumbed through a couple of threads on internet personas I'm vaguely familiar with (Sargon, Molyneux, Dave ruben et al,) though I was never too invested.

I come here to say nigger, hear other people say nigger, and laugh.
 
I do. While the other side areas of the site are good too, I always check in on Secret Gamer Girl, Russel Greer, and Chantal at a minimum. I like some other cows too, but they are more of a passing interest (weeb war characters among a few others). Can’t get into the schizos or furries for some reason.

The occasional slap fight on A&N is fun as well, and I do appreciate that while Kiwis can call each other retarded faggots in that area of the site, they’ll be giving nice stickers and laughing alongside each other at Lolcows on another area of the site.

It's truly one of my favorite aspects of KF and an unfortunate rarity online nowadays.

I definitely have a few cows I enjoy following here, but as a relative newfag I have refrained from posting in many of the lowcow threads til I can make better contributions than what I'd be able to do now.
 
I appreciate the amount of detective work that goes into researching some of the more obscure cows, as well as the manner that some users present the information they've gathered - it reminds me of old school investigative journalism, but funny.
So I guess I come for the cows, or rather, their OPs.

Aside from that, I appreciate a community that can still accommodate and tolerate opinions that aren't squeaky clean PC - even if I don't share a lot of them, I believe that removing certain opinions, even if I abhor them, is nonsense and impedes dialogue between camps. It drives rifts ever deeper, instead of allowing us to peek across the fence and exchange a few words every now and again to better understand each other, ultimately leading to what has now become a very binary worldview on both sides, shaped by archetypes built on the worst qualities of the "left" and the "right" - one perspective sees only the libtard troonsquad, the other only the fascist nazi.

This used to be one of the most beautiful aspects of the internet - the exchange of ideas with people you share nothing with, besides a brief moment in which both parties happen to visit the same site about a shared interest.
Now with opinion bubbles and algorithms deciding to feed you a continuous stream of samethink, that has utterly disappeared from what is now "conventional" social media.

(Mind you, the edgy retards who come just to /pol/ post in the name of freeze-peach, every chance they get, instead of laughing at the tards with the rest, are getting a bit old)

At first for a few specific figures Ive been invested in for a long time anyway, but honestly yeah it really is the discussion that keeps me coming back as frequent as I do. Someone not too long ago made a thread about how much more "human" kiwi farms feels compared to everywhere else and its true. I'm normally a 4chan regular but I think the total anonymity on 4chan makes you sort of feel as though you are talking to yourself or a bunch of bots sometimes, especially the past few years.
 
I came for the cows and stayed for the shitposting and fun.
Didn't realize there was far more and better content here than most other places.
KF is one of the rare few places left on the internet where you can within the span of 20 minutes laugh at someone being retarded, have a well thought out conversation on a serious topic, and call someone a nigger. Sometimes within the same thread.
