Easy. If you need popular attention, talk junk food news like E! Online, Yahoo!, CNN, Mashable, USA Today, and Entertainment Weekly, then you’ll be hip and get lots of hits! Hype about the latest news and fads, the newest blockbuster, the next rising starlet, sports, politics, and statistics that fluctuates daily – you just can’t go wrong!
Project Censored describes what you do as “meaningless coverage of the unimportant,” summing it up perfectly: “A Junk Food News diet consists of sensationalized… inconsequential trivia that is served up to the public on a daily basis …not very nourishing, it’s cheap to produce and profitable for media proprietors.”
Imitate this idiot (says the votes) on YouTube, and for literally junk food news that feeds the mindless masses, passively behold this crap. You’ll be popular junk before you know it!
Still, not all areas of entertainment are junk, some are actually quality that illustrates the richness and grandeur of a culture, created with marvel and ingenuity. To understand the difference between what’s worth and what’s not is a gift.
They say you are what you eat. You are also what you read. You don’t want to be popular junk now, do you? If you want a quality that surpasses popularity, then look for respect & admiration – esteem even, because you achieved something apart from the norm and everyday.

Comments should try to add and build upon the post in new ways we did not think of in order to improve it.
I think the post is too long. Can you make it shorter? Thanks.
We agree. Posts should never be needlessly lengthly so we reduced it by ~20%. Not as much as we would like still being in excess of 200 words, but hey, we tried.
