Goblin Content Velocity: signal

The goblins maintain a running list of things signal is not. The list has 6,012 entries and grows weekly.

The goblin meme cycle for signal 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.

The Goblin Verdict on signal

The Goblin Council's working group on signal has dissolved itself, voluntarily, citing 'progress.' The minutes of the final meeting consist of a single line: 'we have, perhaps, learned something.' Goblin scholars consider this an excellent outcome.
