A reminder that "cashback" credit cards are paid for by big fees on transactions which the store pays, forcing them to raise prices. It's literally anticompetitive

MODERATORS
This does not apply so much in the Whole Foods/Prime example; the store, the membership, and the credit card are all Amazon products. The consumer is paying Amazon for the privilege of paying Amazon to pay Amazon.
Dead internet here we come.
This is the direction Reddit has been pointed in for years now.
That's from The Truman Show, yeah?
Yes
I’ve tried other cocoas— this one’s the best!
hello guys yea i love [insert ad company name] products please buy [company product name] its so good trust me
I've seen douchenozzles on LinkedIn talking about how they make fake reddit threads to promote their product. They acted like it was such a good thing too.
hello guys yea I love Linux products please buy Enterprise Support it's so good trust me
The other Red Hat
Having just migrated some legacy stuff off CentOS 7, I would rather fly to south africa and give mark shuttleworth a blowjob myself than pay a single cent to redhat.
I’m just like you. Perfectly relatable. And definitely no an AI bot Using fifty forged IDs.
While [insert ad company name] products are a little more expensive, the quality and customer service are unmatched. It evens out when you use the [insert ad company name] reward card which gives 5% off each purchase.
I was expecting zuckerbot's face
Great. Saving to use when appropriate.
Would you like to join me for some food intake and exchange of emotions?

I was just reminding a discussion with a guy about Reddit, who thinks Reddit is getting close to the real dead internet theory, just bots talkimg about whatever.
It's bad. It's gotten to the point that I'm actually going outside.
I've definitely had moments where I found myself in some random r/ and realized I wasn't sure if this was bot spam or actual humans. It's pretty dissociating to actually fully internalize the dead Internet theory.
user_name, the username so generic it has to ironically be human. Only thing missing is a number at the end
Best way to have forgetful username.
Hello, generic cousin

I only go to Whole Foods for a few specific stuff items that I can't get elsewhere due to food allergies. There is no way they are the cheapest place to get groceries.
Yup. They're called "Whole Paycheck" for a reason.
All I know is that at least Whole Foods is better organized. I used to live next to a gristedes and I hated that store, I’d shlep to Trader Joe’s.

Is this the kind of AI ads they were talking about?
Maybe. Some people are this basic though. Not that that's a good excuse.
Last night I brought up a Burger King meal I saw on a commercial to my friends in IRC. We all agreed it was less expensive than we thought it would be and one guy actually ordered it. Some of us ARE that basic, lol.

What does the comment history look like on those accounts? I’m guessing when you pay for the spam package, they create fake comment histories for the bot accounts.
First guy has a short history within one post five months ago, then 3 years prior. Second guy and third guy has a big gap 3-7 year gap in history then suddenly a lot of comments. So yea, bots.
