it's so easy to create these types of accounts and flood them with low-effort AI slop that blocking one or two accounts never did it for me. regardless of the platform (tiktok, facebook, instagram, any other social media, including some of your revered FOSS platforms) it's easy to bypass humanity filters with very little effort and fill the account with garbage. all of these platforms behave the same way: if outside accounts engage with it, it becomes more valuable. that's why there are so many of these, and why "just banning" a few of them won't solve it

1. create account
2. use AI or automated process to post tons of slop videos
3. stupid people like, comment or share the video
4. account's engagement goes up
5. now transition it into advertising
6. sell it to a company. "Look, this account has 100k followers. How's $10,000 sound?"

Literally the bar was too crowded so I left and sat on the toilet

They mention a character Charlie, unicorns, and a candy place. I don't know why they are being so careful to avoid accusations of stealing the author's work, because that's exactly what they're doing. People who are familiar with Charlie the unicorn are supposed to recognize it here, and spend their money on Warner Bros merchandise. How could you possibly not see this as theft?

If you don't want to answer the question, say "I don't know, what about you?" and they'll start talking about themselves, and you won't be in the spotlight anymore.

It brings tons of information to the masses, all over the world, in every language, for free, without ads. Shut the fuck up.

This is horrifying. We're watching the American people get squeezed out of their homes into fucking motels after doing everything they could to stay afloat. This is awful.
