MODERATORS
A lot of the time it comes down to how engaging the teller of the story is.
The same story could be told by two different people. One who's animated, emotionally engaged and who appears them self to be very interested, the other, who is the complete opposite of those things.
There are stories that I've found hilarious and/or engaging that upon reflection that were really just a load of pointless nonsense and vice versa stories that feel like they're boring and worthless at the time, but that upon reflection had real gold nuggets of information or wisdom.
This is why I'll always listen to others, I may end up no richer, but there's a chance that I will.
