A darker view of the site we all love…
We are a gluttonous people,
hungry for recognition, and
watching with greed
as a few nameless people read
the article we churned out in fifteen minutes,
hoping that this will be the one
that pays off,
the one that will satisfy our lust for views,
so that we can live as sloths
while the Internet does all our work for us.
We refresh the browser and are proud
as the views go up slowly over the course of the day,
totaling fifteen cents in the end,
less than a coin you can find on the ground.
The whole time envying those on the Hot Content list
who have somehow found the secret.
And we are angry that we are not them.
