I hope the writer for this article makes residuals. They're getting a lot of use out of it

[-] Alerian@lemmy.ml 40 points 2 years ago

They do actually rewrite it slightly each time they repost it, even though the title is the same

They just change the date, city, number of victims, and then change the fake person's name for the quote. The rest stays exactly the same.

Yes, that's how all news sites do it now

[-] Trainguyrom@reddthat.com 1 points 2 years ago

But in this case it's part of the point of the repeating article that the article is nearly identical every time

It would be darkly funny if they had an “____ Days Since We Had to Repost This” counter for it.

[-] TheBat@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago
