Seems like this is the new fad everyone wants to make content making fun of these individuals with deep deep mental problems.

I don't like it, I know when I consumed "lolcow content" I was not in a good place at all and thought laughing at someone else misfortunes would make me feel better.

Everyone wants to make "Cyraxx" or "kingcobra" content on YouTube. I'm not saying these individuals are always the best of people, (they aren't) but well you guys know what I'm going say

Tldr lolcowcontent is not healthy for anyone and it's irritating how much it seems to have taken off recently

I've noticed it's become a lot more intense and slightly more mainstream. It's almost becoming something people will describe as a guilty pleasure. I've been exposed to it enough to know who your two examples are.

I don't know why this is happening, maybe it's just young people who don't watch TV reinventing reality TV but vastly worse. Maybe people just suck more now.
