Never have seen one so I'm guessing it's not all that common

[–] [email protected] 41 points 6 months ago (2 children)

It is relatively common in that it happens regularly, but people thankfully downvote it so it rarely lands in peoples' feeds.

I usually report them as spam.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 5 months ago

Not all of us get downvotes, I see them pretty much daily...

sort by new

[–] [email protected] 4 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Looks like they might be removed (except one). Sorting by new and looking for downvoted posts I just see the one ad and an article about string theory + AI (double whammy).

And just like that you've seen one. Now contact the prior dude on his trist welevision and let them know.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Yeah more just commenting on the moderation work :)

Guess he'll never know then. What are they supposed to be a detective or something?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 5 months ago (1 children)

I was letting you know. It's all good dude, the world isn't going to end if he doesn't read the full discussion.
