MODERATORS
I hope the writer for this article makes residuals. They're getting a lot of use out of it
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
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.
It will be stuck at 0
