Ebaumification
I’ve been using Ebaumsworld more often recently. As much as I don’t want to, it seems to be the leading site to entertain a plethora of people that are stuck in a similar situation in that of my own. I’ve been observing the Ebaums user base from a comments, upload content, blog submissions, and burial perspective and have my own opinion on these users. Here’s how I’ve categorized them:
Eboodytwoshoes: The Ebaum patriots, the brown nosers, the kiss-ups, the sycophants. You get the idea. This group of users consists of anyone who disagrees with any anti-Ebaum content despite the truth in whatever anti-Ebaum statements are made. Anything negative would hurt their self-pride, and therefore, they are quick to bury or remove such posts.
Baumnorants: These people use Ebaumsworld but don’t really know what they’re doing. They couple Ebaumsworld with their own site spam and their own submissions or comments get buried (for legitimate reasons).
Ebaumstigators: These are the individuals who contribute the best content to Ebaumsworld. They typically have a high eRep and a lot of friends. By submitting content, they provoke their friends and admirers to bring it to the front page.
Ebaumocrats: These are the individuals who put heavy emphasis on making Ebaumsworld a “democratic site.” They will down-rate good content that they disagree with despite the value the content gives to the rest of the users.
Egnored: Ebaums users who feel that they cannot use the social network due to the lack of creativity or originality in both uploading and commenting, thus they are ignored.
Baumtards: Any other ebaumsworld user that suggestively posts comments, content, or aticles that just don’t make sense. Some of these users bring delight and humor and are sometimes even ebaum-celebritized. However, there are the other baumtards that make as much sense as sticking your dick in a blender, and it hurts.
The Baum Samaritan: The few people who have stood up and given genuine concern for the exclusivity of Ebaumsworld and it’s prestige.
The Baumnorant Samaritan: users who seem to care for the people in the uploaded content, but we all know you’re nazi’s…You know who you are.
If there’s anyone I forgot, comment on it.
