    Are you paid to craft distraction posts? The headline and article are clear but your post (clearly upvoted by bots) is now the point of discussion (likely some responders are also the same bot accounts).

    How much do you earn in service of corporate interests?

      Who do you think is paying random Lemmy users to complain about headlines on news articles? Seriously, who do you imagine is behind such a ridiculous conspiracy? Where is the value in such activity?

      Also, upvotes are public. We can see who upvoted him, and it wasn’t bots.

        How can you possibly know if an account is or is not a bot in this age of LLMs?

        And the value is where it’s always been - astroturfing.

          You tell us, you’re the one saying the other guy was “clearly upvoted by bots”, you show us how you came to that conclusion, chief.

      I don’t think it’s a conspiracy, but it is definitely odd.

      In my opinion, the headline is very clear.
