About this listen

Lolcows: The Internet’s Never-Ending Tragedy is the world’s first book on the subject of internet lolcows. The word is a portmanteau of "lol" — laugh out loud and "cow" — someone who is milked. A lolcow is someone that is baited or tricked into responding to trolls thereby “milking” them for amusing reactions. The life of the lolcow is a story of tumultuous lies, deceit, manipulation, emotional breakdowns, crash outs, and financial ruin. The dramatic rise and fall story is familiar to us all. But unlike the fictional heroes of screen or Shakespeare, they are real life people that exist in the real world. We will explore this niche internet subculture. The origins of the lolcow, their traits, and their pattern of behavior. We will also examine the biography of six hand selected lolcows across different genres and internet eras. Each lolcow provides a tragic rise and fall story, but also an opportunity to learn. This book will explore the lessons in lolcows and how they can serve as examples for us.

If you've ever followed or been aware of any of the people mentioned in this novel it is quite an interesting examination of the various traits and patterns a wide variety of these individuals tend to follow.

It's a bit niche but as the internet becomes a staple of everyday life for many this field and its analysis will continue to grow. A very good starting point especially for the people I didn't know about and will be eager to see if there's more content and novels to come from the author in the future, definitely worth a purchase

Interesting look into some niche internet personalities
