Would it have killed them to do any research at all on this article instead of just rephrasing a tiktok?

>“I never signed up for this website to put this kind of information out for anybody to obtain who gets the code to obtain it.” It is unclear what code Flint is referring to.

Seriously, it would take two minutes to log onto the site and see what verification process they have in place. The dogged insistence on adding absolutely no value is frustrating

This is the latest in low-effort content milling. Whenever I open a new Chrome tab on my phone, I see an endless stream of these paraphrased Reddit and TikTok posts. Right now I see Cheezburger, YourTango, The Daily Dot, Pleated Jeans, Upworthy, and Newsweek. Most point to outrage porn like r/AITA and r/pettyrevenge.

It's really quite funny to read some 22-year-old intern's attempt to take a Reddit post about someone feeling slighted at a family dinner and dress it up as serious breaking news. I guess this is how one pays one's dues as a young journalist these days.
