Very Internet Person

in today's garbage day, ryan broderick attempts to define and trace "slop"

"Most popular forms of entertainment and even basic information have degraded into slop simply meant to fill our various feeders"

"The fix for all of this seems obvious and, unfortunately, impossible, at least right now. It has to come from us, the user, the viewer, the consumer [...] We have to be the ones to demand that we all make less, aim smaller, be more deliberate about what we consume, and find new ways of funding — and distributing — what we do make."
