The astonishing truth that Ed has uncovered

[Dirk Diggler]

Is anyone else getting this crap on Twitter? It's a promoted tweet so they're obviously aware of what is clearly scam clickbait. I dread to think how the people placing these ads are making the ad fee money back.

Yep same

Interesting thread here that looks into where some similar promoted tweets actually take you:

Christ. 30 tweets to say "there are crypto scammers on twitter". Cutting edge journalism!

Twitter

Stop that immediately.

Stop that immediately.

Never been on it myself, it just seems to be a modern day equivalent of village gossip.

E: it certainly sounds like it's where all the village idiots gather

Being ginger without due care and attention.

You ever hear someone talk and think to yourself "how the hell did that person make it to that age without drowning in a toilet or choking to death on a teaspoon"? Now let's give all of those people a voice, and the ability to filter out anything they disagree with. Now let's give them the ability to tag anyone else with a twitter account.

It's an echo chamber for marketing and retards, with a few sprinkles of good info thrown in.

A perfect use case for Ublock origin, it blocks these scams

 

[m@rty]

I’ve noticed it a lot recently, LinkedIn is becoming the same

 

[Jono8]

Is he finally going to reveal the secret to somehow becoming one of the most popular music artists of all time by being a short, weird looking ginger kid with a mediocre voice?

Lots of letter substitution scams at the moment - for example instead of a, the url uses a unicode substitution for something that looks like 'a' but is a different unicode..

 

[Dirk Diggler]

Jesus, the English hate for gingers is just weird.

Anyway, thanks for the info @TheVoice that was a decent explainer. It's a mild irritation but probably a precursor for what's to come in future on platforms like Twitter.

That ain't even wish.com Ed Sheeran.

Poor Ed, just thinking out loud, with his eyes closed... But I don't care!
