@roastedDeflator I mean it is a funny piece of satire and I support satire. But did they? Reading the article? The only thing I can see is the tick tock has a lot of comments. Is that what it means When we say they fell for it? that tick tock has a lot of comments. I don't see any screenshots of articles where people were writing think pieces about it. Just three tiktok comments? This feels more like an ad for that satire website. And if so it kind of worked, I bookmarked it. I'll check it out.
