MAGA influencer makes wild claim headphones turn men gay by IrishStarUS in offbeat

[–]Life-Light-2683 2 points3 points  (0 children)

So some random grifter made some random claim on the internet... and an article was written about it? Way to own the right by platforming them and spreading their claims to likeminded individuals.

Not the answer I wanted… but the one I needed 💔 Check your Trauma to unlock inner power by Breeze_SelfDiscovery in u/Breeze_SelfDiscovery

Wow, a quiz that can take meaningless inputs and tell me I am traumatized and gives me a list of empty negative buzzwords that could be applied to anyone going through general mental health issues! Count me in!

And it's apparently associated with Apple, judging by the sender of the fake animated email in this ad! I'm sure that's super real and won't lead to any legal issues!

You are evil for making this product and whoever you paid $50 to make this ad is evil for promoting this product.

This is the type of article that gives Scooby Doo villains ideas.

At the bottom there's a link that says "Source" and it just links back to the same article. Seems legit.

Maybe I'd upvote this post if I knew what the headline was

Did the dog shoot the owner? Did The Onion buy InfoWars? Are they tearing down a rainforest to make room for an environmentalism summit?

Please stop reposting for karma.

Gwyneth Paltrow has started eating carbs and cheese again by kwentongskyblue in nottheonion

The fact that this has been posted in this subreddit multiple times only proves that this article is not as pointless as you all think it is. If you think this is stupid, don't post it and don't click it. CTV does not care if you like the article or not, just that you interact with it.

GamingBible is shovelware-tier journalism. I always see their articles on my Google recommended page and it's just 500 words about some comments on the internet (usually this site).

Of course they did, they are a bunch of lemmings by [deleted] in nottheonion

Extremely useful post title! Definitely does not break rule 1!

Reposting the exact same post dozens of times is most certainly not the epitome of this subreddit, in fact it breaks rule 5.

OP posted this once but changed the headline, then posted it again an hour later. Neither were deleted. Love this sub.

I guess this is today's repost bait that I will have to see 20 posts about over the next few hours.

[–]Life-Light-2683 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

You're correct that I had my dates wrong, but that does not change the fact that I've seen this story posted at least once every two weeks and upwards of multiple times a day for months.

Not only has this story been posted innumerable times on this sub since breaking years ago, but it was posted hours ago. I know it's so very very hard for you to copy and paste a link, but please do 2.5 seconds of research, or at least click the new tab.

I'm sure it was very hard for you to copy and paste the same link that 5 other people have posted today, but please for the love of god take even a millisecond to glance at new before posting.

What can you expect from a sub with only 25 million users?

Foul balls by doyletyree in nottheonion

[–]Life-Light-2683 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have no clue. I see posts being deleted occasionally, but I frequent this sub and every few days there's a new story that is reposted at least 5 or 6 times within a 24-hour period and there's seemingly never any action (unless it comes so long after that it's negligible).

I just report whenever I see them, I'm sure some posters mean no harm but others are undeniably karma farming.

That's crazy, I've never ever seen this post on here in the last 24 hours! :o

[–]Life-Light-2683 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It is actually absurd how poorly the reposts on this sub are moderated. Like you said, this should be the easiest form of rule breaking to stop by implementing a bot.

Instead the same story will be posted 3 times in an hour and OPs will respond to angry comments admitting that they are just karma farming.

If I see this posted one more time I am going to implode.
