I'm pretty sure it's a bot....
There's a lot of posts here where they're completely missing a joke and saying it's a facepalm.
It probably just pulls whatever is posted to reddit (likely by a bot too) and posts it here. I struggle to believe a real life human would think this is a mistake and not a funny headline for engagement.
Yeah...
It's a "hobby" which is buying things that aren't made anymore.
How was it going to end any other way?
Lots of people wants to buy a few old things. The people who pay the most get it, and they won't sell for less than they bought, so prices keep going up until there's no supply and rich bored people just keep trading back and forth as investment.
