@lazcorp Also, I suspect we will come to the point where regurgitating low level Wiki knowledge and an apposite picture isn‰Ûªt going to be enough. It‰Ûªs cultural looping predicated on laziness. Shallow ends end. Maybe not next year, maybe not the year after, but change is a coming.

@lazcorp I would disable it for Hookland. Fourth wall and all. If I say a manipulated image is X I don‰Ûªt want someone from 1666 saying it is Y.

@lazcorp I also suspect that those interested in an image either ask or reverse image search anyway. Curiosity is somewhat out of fashion, but RIS makes acting on curiosity relatively easy.

@lazcorp To be crude, you get fed up of GCSE-level material/Radio One breakfast show approved songs at some point and start looking for deeper gear. Social media is not going to be under-16 forever.

@lazcorp The lowest common denominator can be automated. What can be automated is going to have more currency.

@lazcorp In a couple of years, it will doable for clever code to spot FolkloreThursday regularly trends and ape the style of those posting Wiki snips and illustrations. The field will be swamped by bafflegab. At this point, I have increased hope for those wandering more creative paths.

@lazcorp I have some faith in the monkey brain craving novelty. I have some faith in the monkey brain getting bored by 50 things the same. Even Simon Cowell struggles against monkey boredom.
