This Is Sad 😭
"This Is Sad 😭" is the most watched of the fifteen uploads on StompnWorld this week, a clips channel that titles nearly everything with a few words and a crying emoji. It passed a million views within a few days, and its comment section has turned into a shared complaint about work.
The line everyone keeps repeating is "I need you where you are," and viewers answer it in dozens of versions, most of them some form of quitting. Others trade office proverbs about the competent being kept in place while someone else gets promoted, nod to the Dilbert Principle, or wonder who Little Ricky is and how anyone plans to get an excavator out of a lake. One commenter tells of leaving for a competitor and getting a big raise for the same job.
The newest clip, "It's That Simple 😭", is the one moving fastest right now, just a day old. Overall the channel ran a little under its usual pace, yet it still drew more views than any channel nearest its size, with around 10,000 new subscribers. Hopeless Core had a busy week too, while Boat Zone Ramps kept its usual quiet rhythm.
