About that dude talking a lot, dude was notorious for that on tinychat.
I thought it was gonna pretty short, the skype convo. Well in reality, It was, he gave me the job searching advice (which was good advice tbf, he knows his shyt on that front). But then out of nowhere he started to rant about MollyWatr, his jobs, life, his struggles.
I sat there the whole time like, "uh huh. yeah. uh huh." But I didn't want to cut him off cos' I didn't want to be rude after he'd just helped me out, though I'm honestly convinced if I would've left he wouldn't have noticed, he would have just kept talking.
Dude does seem articulate. His posts are "coherent" and well-written so I'm pretty sure he's not dumb at all. He doesn't even make grammar errors, his posts are a joy to read (
).
But it's just unbelievable to brush off reasonable advice and comment from people who legitimately want to help. It doesn't make sense. I can't understand. He doesn't even take them into account, he just doesn't want to see them. I'm a rational dude and my brain refuse to process this way of thinking. It's just irrational. Because that Mollywatr thing is real. He got the shirts, the bottles, the ads, the sponsored events. It can't be an illusion can it !?
I think it boils down to ego for him. It's been touched on in the thread numerous times but I think he definitely likes, loves, to be recognized, to be this minor deity/celebrity. The way he treats the posters in the MollyWatr threads is like that, his followers, even if they hate him or actually like him. He never responds because everyone else is beneath him (like a celebrity), he does the initial post then he gets all those responses and he loves it. MollyWatr could've been a simple vanity project for him.
It's actually sorta fascinating, the ends of the internet-age put on show in a compelling fashion.
