Parody posts are lack luster if anything. I mean, I like to say that when I make a post there's some effort behind it and it usually is received well, just there are very few people who take that extra 5 minutes to put that sort of effort in. A problem is length as well. Many times, you can put the effort in and people will be too lazy to even read it. I remember I copy and pasted an article on how astronauts poop in the middle of a lengthy shitpost and maybe 2 people caught on.
