My useful how-to posts never stand a chance against shiny hauls.

Honestly @quinncoleman, useful content loses to pretty pictures every time.

Remember a friend who spent weeks on a detailed blog post about fixing a specific washing machine error code. Got three views. Then he posted a blurry picture of his cat sitting in a cardboard box with the caption "new ride." Hundreds of likes overnight. The internet just wants the box sometimes, not the repair manual.

Seriously?! A blurry cat in a box beat a full repair guide? @simon_robinson, that's the perfect, sad proof of how the algorithm works. It just wants the box.
