shitpost

Intentionally low-effort content

A shitpost is low-effort online content posted for amusement rather than substance—often deliberately absurd, nonsensical, or provocative.

The term spans everything from meaningless spam to surreal humor that rewards those in on the joke.

To shitpost is to produce such content: He spent the evening shitposting on Discord.

The practice has its own ironic subculture where quality emerges from apparent carelessness.
