Question for ya

[andrewducker]

Back in ye olden days, photos of weird phenomena used to turn up intermittently. Bigfoot. Aliens. UFOs. Ghosts.

Now that everyone and their in-bred cousin-sister has a phone that can stream live HD video to the world, where have they all gone?

They've gone to YouTube.
Orbs, Ghost car, UFO

That last one made me jump a _lot_. I may have to track you down and kill you.

They're still around, yet somehow people always seem to put down their HD video devices in order to get the scrappy old low-quality poorly-focussed camera out whenever a UFO appears.

There's some famous bigfoot video that is still shown over and over, even though the guys that filmed it finally admitted it has a hoax.

The people who made carefully crafted hoaxes have mostly given up, now it's no longer an profession and any amateur can do it. The people who really recorded aliens have given up as their videos are less convincing that the photoshopped ones, so why bother?

duh. they're all being hidden by the global zionist conspiracy, of course.

stuff is still reported constantly, but no-one cares anymore.

think Brave New World.

We're at the point now where the stuff we seek out as being actively essential is barely given enough time/attention to be relevant for more than a Facebook post.
when not enough people care to rip the PM a new one for gratuitously unnecessary public spending cuts, who the fuck cares about BigFoot?
