I'm not talking about online, but in my everyday real life. I haven't heard someone say something interesting in years. It's all just meaningless niceties and random inane comments.
When's the last time you heard someone say something interesting?

If you're someone who is an introvert, then you can find small talk/chit-chat dull and mundane.

Nah, dude, nihilism is a plague upon the human race. Nuclear bombs won't destroy us, but nihilism may.
I hear interesting comments all the time. And it's always from the most unexpected source.
Fuck nihilism.

When's the last time you heard someone say something interesting? Trick is to say something interesting in an interesting way if you want to try to get something interesting back.

I think that's more or just as much a function of having interest in what those around you are saying as it is their conversation being interesting.

Sports, politics, sports, work, and sports; that's it. Most of it uninformed and stupid. My wife tells me stories about people I don't know.

It would depend on how one defines interesting. Isn't that all subjective, just like meaning?
I may hear many things and more of it I may dismiss because I may already feel that same way or it doesn't connect. What I do like to hear is something that can really transform my own outlook and perceptions that give me a new and broader outlook on something. Even if it is something I may not want to hear.

I recently had someone give me a very entertaining and informative list of reasons to explain why I’m not an interesting person.

I like to elevate small talk to "medium talk". For the last few years I've been making an effort to be as genuine as possible with people. There's a fine line between necessary politeness and complete superficiality. I think a lot of social interactions devolve into the latter more often than not, leading to hollow relationships. This is something I actively work to avoid, both in active relationships and new ones.

I get the gist of what the OP is saying as with many it's just empty talk with no real meaning where as with some people you have more a true meaningful connection/chat. everyone needs at least one person who they have more of a real connection with otherwise things will suck.
I suspect that's probably why many are messed up nowadays (especially as the internet, and especially social media, makes people more isolated etc) as they don't have many, if anyone, where they have real meaningful connection/conversations with. because when talking with some people it feels more forced/superficial where as some people you can just talk to straight up that have more meaning/connection. because for me... without more of a real connection, I figure it's largely pointless to converse with others.

I recently had someone give me a very entertaining and informative list of reasons to explain why I’m not an interesting person. So if the list was informative, you would take on board what was said so you can become interesting?!
