i like how they opted to use 'k' as an abbreviation for an already 4 digit number in order to make it appear that more people give a shit.

Looking at the thing again to verify what you said let me see that they call shares "re-truths" which is so perfectly on the nose it would be groan inducing if this was a novel instead of real life.

I don't get it. 1.35k = 1,350. Neither of these look larger than the other.

They do when you look quickly and miss the period.

It's honestly a skill issue if someone buys inflated numbers by two factors of ten--oh, wait. It's a site of conservatives. Sorry, I forgot I was intelligent, and that others are not. This may very well be effective after all.

Plenty of skull issues to go around with that lot

Edit: accidentally typed in skull instead of skill, gonna keep it because it still applies.
