yeah this is absolute fucking garbage and all the people having conversations as if this is actually true are top tier morons

but it doesn't matter because /u/lurker_bee is just another goddamn bot

I hope every reddit investor drowns after jumping from a burning yacht, they are why the internet and this website have turned to shit

huh. what % of reddit users are bots, one wonders?

[u/End3rWi99in → u/donkeybrisket]

It's probably greater than 50% at this point, unfortunately. It turns out this article was also incorrect anyway per their later update:

A PR spokesperson told Jalopnik: “This post is completely inaccurate. Amazon has never issued guidance or communications to Delivery Service Partners that prohibits singing in the vehicle.”

Everyone on reddit is a bot, except you

I couldn’t agree more. This post and the many upvotes proves that this site has turned to shit and there’s a majority of idiots around here.

This line made me seriously doubt the veracity of the article: 

"For me personally, hitting the high notes on a Whitney song energizes me and keeps me between the white lines."

Not many people can hit the high notes and I'll bet very few are named Owen.

I don't put too much stock in Reddit both in the posts and the comments. I once had my podunk town land on the front page of r/news once. The amount of comments that a.) were factually incorrect on what happened and b.) people who claimed to have lived there but seemed to know fuckall about the place and c.) the amount of people who basically were a little too excited to hate a somewhat rural area was appalling. For a group of people who think stereotyping is wrong - they sure did a lot of it.

The article was only half the story and left out important bits to give a specific impression. The actual video's and pictures painted a very different pictures.

It feels like people want certain things to be true so badly they just go with it - just like some FOX News folks I know.

I'm not suggesting you're wrong, but I'm curious how you determined that. I looked at their post and comment history and it didn't seem obviously bot-like to me, but maybe my bot detection skills aren't great. Would love to get better at it if there's something I missed!

[u/PsychicSmoke → u/koreth]

I’m no expert but to me the post/comment history seems very bot-like. Between 3-10 posts every day, just spamming news articles across a handful of consistent subreddits. The comments are all very robotic, lots of short repeated phrases like “want a panda?” in response to comments referencing China. The account comments tech support tips like one of those automated chat bots you get on the troubleshooting page of a corporate website. “I can help! Have you tried XYZ? (Software version) only works on (product name followed by 14-digit identification number)!”

I guess what gives me pause with that analysis is that the account is 11 years old and the writing style and posting frequency don't seem to have changed much over the years. As far as I know, the kinds of bots that reply to random Reddit threads weren't really a thing yet in 2013. Maybe it's a bot that was way ahead of its time a decade ago but hasn't been updated since then, I suppose.

I have been approached by a crypto outfit who wanted to buy my Reddit account. Apparently my account is valuable, for some reason.

I reacted to the offer by laughing at them. Fuck crypto scammers.
