Vapid’s Greatest Misses

When we sit down to write,
We all hope that our hard work and effort transferring our thoughts to the block gets the attention it truly deserves.

The hard truth is
that even when people vote on our carefully crafted offerings, the likelihood that even a handful of people read it from start to finish is slim at best.

Even when you have thousands of followers. It surely happens.

Often our work is overshadowed by the colorful creations of others, unseen due to poor timing, or let's face it, it just wasn't as good as we deemed it to be in the first place.

So we can get mad,
We can get frustrated,
We can complain that nobody recognizes our obvious brilliance...

We can just get over ourselves and get back to the drawing board. Like the mad scientist back to the lab, creating, tweaking and freaking frequencies until it finally resonates with the our fickle audiences.

I've certainly had my fair share of posts that, for whatever reason, failed to generate views, votes or even a dollar.
So here's a few of those stinkers, and a little commentary to go with'em.

Exhibit A

Obviously, I didn't have a grasp of the markdowns at this point and it honestly looks shitty. However, I think the cards from this 90's game are worth checking out. They seem to predict a lot of world events and important personalities.
Who made this game anyways?

Exhibit B

CIA Coups in 2 minutes: Why the "Russian Hacked US Elections" Narrative is Farcical

Priceless: Reporter Asks State Department Official Why They Criticize Iranian Elections and Not Saudi Arabia

I thought this was hilarious... this State Department Official has a spontaneous lobotomy live during Q & A when confronted with US hypocricy.

Are you kidding me?
IT'S IN THE TITLE!
BACON MOTHER-FUCKING SEAWEED, PEOPLE (drops mic).

At least one man, Hive account@rebelskum, understood the importance of this post.

Exhibit E

Boy Lover Symbols - Cindy Lauper's True Color Tour 1983

This was a totally random find. A friend of mine had never heard the Cindy Lauper song "Girl's Just Wanna Have Fun" so I was like "yeah right, you've heard it before". I was searching through a few renditions and I stumbled across this pedo symbol filled live performance.

ALWAYS, have a Pepsi at the Ready in Case of Police Brutality

Since my posts are usually on the dark side of things I can understand that people "ain't got time for that". There's more than a few good memes up in Heya.

This one didn't do too bad, and I thought the memes were pretty darn funny.
But check out the author payout.
Whaaaaa? The sign of the beast?
