It doesn’t matter what people comment, just that they do. Someone pointing this out, someone pointing out that it’s engagement bait, someone surprised at how cooked we are, someone explaining the general idea algorithm…doesn’t matter that our discussion was OT and pointless, this thing’s got people talking! Show it to more people and see if it takes off. No? Ok well it’ll still earn a normally small sum more than normal and/or slightly more reputation for the poster.
Rinse and repeat until you’re getting millions of views and hundreds of thousands of dollars each week. It doesn’t matter if your content is trash. Every little boost is more EXP and you just keep leveling, keep grinding.
The first “AIs” to manipulate us weren’t LLMs. When you ask a robot to curate, it’ll always be trivial to game that system.
not on here. that’s why lemmy (and most other decentralised platforms) is so good. but on some other platforms ppl sell their likes farmed accounts to marketers, so they can use it to push their viral campaigns. those platforms usually favor accounts that get many likes and the posts they make somehow with the algo or by auto enforced rules. for exampke minimum karma required to post in some reddit communities etc… marketers can take advantage of that if they get ahold of a suitable account. that’s why some ppl repost and ragebait like mad on those platforms.
Wait …this is a trend? To intentionally censor pointless words so that people can rage reply?
Jfc we’re cooked as a society aren’t we?

Where is anyone getting money for posting on Lemmy?
They aren’t, but in the original platform this was posted on, it could have been.
wait, people are getting paid? I like money

I enjoyed your comment the most of all the comments.

Same with mispronouncing words like tzatziki or prosciutto.
Different from “osteoporosis!” Which is a memetic mutation of the “bone atrophy” joke of mispronouncing / misspelling bon appetit
