A Completely Natural Conversation in the NYC Reddit
-
Often times the services have a fleet of accounts, they have them do reposts of old popular posts with titles and some content rephrased, then some of the rest of the fleet copies the top comments and rephrases those and posts them below.
This builds a history of realistic and semi popular looking posts in a way that is fairly easy to automate . Anyone who looks closely could potentially figure out a given account, or even cluster of accounts, is farmed, but it takes effort and time to prove it, more effort and time than it takes for them to spool up another batch of bots.
Don't forget to add a typo in the title of the repost for extra engagement!

Dead internet here we come.
This is the direction Reddit has been pointed in for years now.

They actually sell the cheapest veggies and tofu in my area. I honestly don't bother looking at anything else they have so I can't speak otherwise.
That seems bizarre based on the prices I see, maybe they are intentionally undercutting the others locally in your area specifically. Whole Foods was by far the cheapest place to buy eggs earliest this year and were obviously using them as a loss leader (we're talking less than half the price of standard grocery stores in the same area).

Also elderly people. Me or other family buy groceries for an aunt, she has Amazon for emergencies.
Unapologetically filtering young families and old people out of my life...
-
I only go to Whole Foods for a few specific stuff items that I can't get elsewhere due to food allergies. There is no way they are the cheapest place to get groceries.
All I know is that at least Whole Foods is better organized. I used to live next to a gristedes and I hated that store, I’d shlep to Trader Joe’s.

A reminder that "cashback" credit cards are paid for by big fees on transactions which the store pays, forcing them to raise prices. It's literally anticompetitive

The other Red Hat
Having just migrated some legacy stuff off CentOS 7, I would rather fly to south africa and give mark shuttleworth a blowjob myself than pay a single cent to redhat.

It's not so much that you literally have no time but spending the extra money is a way to get the time you would otherwise spend on groceries to do other things like spend actual time with the kids before they sleep and walk the dog before it's dark.
Given the extremely high cost of eating out compared to buying some frozen shit/random stuff for quick lazy meals at the grocery store I don't think that makes financial sense. On the other hand I'm not going to fault people for choosing to eat out/eat delivery because they like it and can afford it

It's also worth noting that free range and organic eggs got hit waasaay less than your average factory farm egg, therefore it probably hurt Amazon a lot less to keep eggs low compared to other grocers.

Uber eats/doordash is a different level. I don't use them unless I have a gift card.
Instacart and similar as mentioned here do upcharge but it is just regular groceries so I can cook and eat at home. It's on a basis of time=money. I want back the time I'd have to spend grocery shopping so I'll spend money for it. If I ever get employed somewhere with reasonable public transit or safer biking that may change.

Ohhhh you meant grocery delivery not restaurant delivery. I think that's the source of a lot of the pushback on your comment. Grocery delivery can absolutely make a ton of sense, especially when it's only a fee of like $10-20 on what could be 2 weeks worth of groceries (basically a 5-10% increase in person trip cost)
Personally I don't do grocery delivery because often what I like and what I look for isn't the same as what the shopper usually buys or looks for, and when they substitute it might not be something that makes sense. But I've been tempted before on particularly busy weeks or even just as a money saving strategy to avoid getting extra items that aren't needed and/or for comparison shopping (I'm much, much more price sensitive when online shopping compared to in-person)

Idk what pushback you're talking about, you're it as far as I can tell and yes the OP is about groceries as is the comment I originally responded to.
Yeah, I usually specify alternates or refunds for things that matter and if my bananas are too green or my avocados riper than expected I can change meals to accommodate.

hello guys yea i love [insert ad company name] products please buy [company product name] its so good trust me
I've seen douchenozzles on LinkedIn talking about how they make fake reddit threads to promote their product. They acted like it was such a good thing too.

I was just reminding a discussion with a guy about Reddit, who thinks Reddit is getting close to the real dead internet theory, just bots talkimg about whatever.
It's bad. It's gotten to the point that I'm actually going outside.

I was expecting zuckerbot's face

Yup. They're called "Whole Paycheck" for a reason.

Y'know what, I didn't look at usernames and assumed. That's my bad. Sorry!

wrote on last edited by [email protected]This does not apply so much in the Whole Foods/Prime example; the store, the membership, and the credit card are all Amazon products. The consumer is paying Amazon for the privilege of paying Amazon to pay Amazon.
