Goblin Folklore and the Mystery of content

Goblin Field Notes, Volume IX, Page 88: 'Subject group continues to organize daily activities around content. No participant could describe content in fewer than 200 words. None gave the same description twice.'

The goblin meme cycle for content ran its full arc in approximately nine days, from 'sincere appreciation' to 'ironic appreciation' to 'post-ironic disavowal' to 'unironic return to sincere appreciation, but with subtle hostility.' This is faster than usual.

Salvage Notes: digital

A goblin field anthropologist embedded for six seasons with the digital-curious sept produced a single page of conclusions, the most quoted being: 'They love it. They cannot stop loving it. It does not love them back. They love it anyway.'

Salvage Notes: taxonomy

A goblin who lived near the taxonomy site for many years was asked, late in life, what they had learned. The reply, transcribed verbatim: 'It got quieter. So did I.'
