Good enough.
We’re not “popular opinion”


You have been reported for trolling.
Please follow the rules, and defend your opinion, or I will be forced to remove the post.


Someone reported your comment.
that’s glorification of violence and then there’s nuclear options…
You don’t have a pocket nuke, do you?


We do not condone piracy or other illegal activity on this instance. It’s in the instance-wide TOS.
I’m done with everybody attacking one user for speaking up against piracy.
Locking this post, and asking admins to review all threads here.


Yeah. I’d think so, but moderation is now going to be done by a different mod or admin, because I let myself get involved. I don’t moderate threads/posts if I get involved.


Having other moderators moderate this, as I’m now a part of this.


It’s not opinion. It’s a fluff piece on how someone made money for their employer.
It’s advertising. For tick-tock or however your spell it, and for Staples, as well as for the content creator.
Either you are willfully ignorant, or your directly tied to this piece.
Calling what I’m saying an opinion is misinformation.


Oh god, this. DEI doesn’t mean they can’t advertise.


You’re in the wrong. I figured I’d let the community show you. This won’t happen again.


Yeah. It’s gray. I agree, but they are a real user (read: not a spam account), plus I was tired of them DMing me constant insults, as I never block a user. Rather than keeping it removed, I figured the users would show them what the community felt.


Advertising:
The activity of attracting public attention to a product or business, as by paid announcements in the print, broadcast, or electronic media.
Oblivion “teaches/informs people about services at Staples”, according to the article.
Her engaging videos showcase little-known Staples services, boosting customer interest and store traffic.
How wouldn’t this be advertising?
It’s soft reporting on someone advertising for their company.
Hell, directly in the article:
Katie Omstead—the President at Lo & Sons, who also makes PR and marketing analysis content on TikTok under the handle @ktomstead—made a video on Feb. 12 that called Oblivion a “content and marketing genius,” and shared what Staples should do going forward.
This is why it was reported so much.
Before you go “it wasn’t paid” I’m damn sure she didn’t do the work or wear the outfit for free. Anything you do for a company on company time is paid.


They fought the removal.
It’s news, just not what the community says is news, according to the down votes and reports.
Keeping it up, but feel free to vote it how you like


Temporarily coming out of retirement to ban this ass hat


I know you’re a troll. I’m done feeding you.


You seem to have time to spare, but maybe searching is hard for you.


Fuck, that made me laugh


Oh, look! A big, ugly sea lion.


Are…Are you new to the internet?
I gave you the exact quote. You DO realize that me posting a link wouldn’t be any different, right?
That’s because you can SEARCH the quote to get the source. I know, revolutionary idea.
Not that I’m aware of.
