Great stuff. I also thought that his death really isn't like unique if that makes sense. He is replaceable, nothing about him was unique. A cardboard cutout, a clone. Just a voice really.

What can you say about someone who didn't exist in some kind of fleshy and real way, but seems to exist in every crevice on the internet, just filling and filling with a stupidity that is so, so utterly boring until I'm just suffocated by boredom, and choking on plastic thoughts.

This reflection is poignant as a whole but the first paragraph in particular is a literary masterpiece. Bravo.
