Definition: &#8220;Rejection of an insanely popular idea, game, show, place etc. simply because it is so insanely popular.&#8221; That&#8217;s me all right. Although of course I&#8217;d say it&#8217;s more than &#8220;simply because it is so insanely popular,&#8221; more so because we hear about it too much.

He also mentions Evgeny Morozov&#8217;s &#8220;The Net Delusion,&#8221; which sounds right up my socialnetwork-skeptical alley:<br \/>\nhttp:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2011\/02\/06\/opinion\/06rich.html<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Leave it to the folks at the Urban Dictionary (who sometimes seem to have too much time on their hands: check out the P-words and you&#8217;ll get an idea of what I mean) to come up with a term for &hellip; <a href=\"https:\/\/williamjcobb.com\/blog\/index.php\/2011\/02\/06\/hype-aversion-to-facebook-twitter-nod-to-evgeny-morozovs-the-net-delusion\/\">Continue reading <span class=\"meta-nav\">&rarr;<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"om_disable_all_campaigns":false,"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"_uf_show_specific_survey":0,"_uf_disable_surveys":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[25],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-741","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-politics"],"aioseo_notices":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/williamjcobb.com\/blog\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/741","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/williamjcobb.com\/blog\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/williamjcobb.com\/blog\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/williamjcobb.com\/blog\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/williamjcobb.com\/blog\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=741"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/williamjcobb.com\/blog\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/741\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/williamjcobb.com\/blog\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=741"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/williamjcobb.com\/blog\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=741"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/williamjcobb.com\/blog\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=741"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
