Fair. That's probable, your threads could be just a result of your TL. Both of them cause a lot of ripples in a lot of circles.

Yeah.. I'm now at 72 parts of the ~40 minute/episode documentary.. Think that's about 2 full days of my life I'm not getting back... Oh well, *sips fanta*. DSP's just a human cockroach, I avoid that one.

The most "successful" (using that very loosely) lolcows do that, they're self destructive and have a strangely symbiotic relationship with the ones who enjoy watching their fall. Not sure what software your platform's using, but if you can implement "mute thread without being in it" then do it. It's improved my TL a lot for this kind of shit. No clue about the podcasters tbh, I only watch Jim and Claire and half of those are retired now.
