Goblin Kernel Panic Regarding content

The goblin discourse around content reached its predictable phase on Tuesday, when a popular account posted, deleted, and reposted the same hot take in subtly different forms.

When you stare at content long enough, it begins to stare back. This is not a metaphor. Goblins have documented cases where observers of content developed shared hallucinations about it. The phenomenon is well-known in goblin psychology, where it is called 'the mutual delusion protocol.'
