Media Bias Fact Check | bot support

zkfcfbzr ,

Am I out of the loop on why people don’t seem to like this bot? Just annoying/spammy or something else? Been seeing it downvoted a lot lately

finley ,

The really amazing thing is how many dumb fucks waste their time downvoting it instead of blocking it, lol

Because the point is to let others know that they think it’s a shitty bot and the admins pushing it onto everybody was bullshit. Can’t do that if they just block it.

finley ,

How’s that going for you?

Krono ,

“Media Bias Fact Check” is just some right winger in his basement.

The goal of Media Bias Fact Check isn’t to reveal hidden bias and create better-informed news readers. The goal is to shift the Overton Window to the right.

THAT Veronica Vaughn is one hot piece of ayyyce. I know from experience.

No you don’t.

Shkreli claimed on a 2024 podcast that he had “burned the album and sent it to like, 50 different chicks”—and that this had been extremely good for his sex life.

I find that statement suspect.

One of the recipients responded positively, which increased his lifetime sexual encounters by ∞%

givesomefucks ,

I find that statement suspect

He gave them digital and copiable files that would still be worth a shit ton of money each time they copied it…

Like, the same circle of people that would know he had it and gives it out. Would know who else would pay for it

I’m honestly surprised they don’t change the valuation of it to zero and hit him for the amount he used it to take off what he owes.

He’s potentially made any copies worthless.

I think the guy that owns it is an nft shill so I hope it’s worthless, and I say that loving Wu Tang

Imagine needing to give women someone else’s mix tape to get them to have sex with you.

Tragic and sad.

friend_of_satan ,

Haha, amazing burn! Second hand street cred.

Doom ,

With all the money he has too ridiculous

shalafi ,

I handed girls my mix tapes in the 80s and they were all someone else’s work. Get on my level!

God what a twatwaffle.

The value of that album is measurable until he copied it. Once a copy is out then it’s worth significantly less.

I mean, everyone has a type. Even Manson had a fanclub.

Still, 🤮.

ipkpjersi ,

I mean, I don’t think I’m getting a fanclub any time soon lol

Back in my Reddit days, as soon as it was posted that he bought this thing, about 1000000000000000 comments on every post of this news article postulated that he would do exactly this.

Like, duh

finley ,

No fucking shit

This just in, shocking news folks, piece of shit Pharma bro is still a piece of shit…

SkyezOpen ,

It’s kind of funny though. This guy was shitty but like… A 2/10 compared to Elon. Some of the shit he did was funny in an obnoxious trollish way. Fuck me but I wish he was the worst we had to deal with currently.

YtA4QCam2A9j7EfTgHrH ,

The fact that Wu Tang made this thing is gross. Fuck that art collector bullshit.

some_guy OP ,

Article said that they made it as a statement about the value drop in art because of digital markets. I hadn’t known that, so I kinda respected it more than before I knew that.

YtA4QCam2A9j7EfTgHrH ,

Seems like motivated reasoning to me. Making a statement while leaving most of the people who made you, poor folk who like your music, without the music but you with millions of Pharma Bro Dollars.

From wikipedia

“It’s an uncomfortable subject to most of the guys, so we don’t really discuss it too much. The process of the thing being made was never told to us. We were never told what it was. It was never supposed to be a Wu-Tang album. We were recording and being paid to do a certain amount of records by a guy whose name I don’t want to mention. He took all these verses—some of them were old verses—and put them altogether into a compilation of Wu-Tang songs and marketed it as a Wu-Tang album, and a single copy of a Wu-Tang album. We all had a problem with it because that’s not how it was described to us.”

—Method Man in 2024 on recording Once Upon a Time in Shaolin.

So where can I stream it?

shalafi ,

That’s what I’m screaming. If “50 chicks” have a copy, where’s the leakage? Mean to tell me none of them gave up the MP3s, not even for cold cash? None of them bragged and got made an offer?!

And here we see the obvious issues with conspiracies…

Crashumbc ,

Yeah, given that they were probably high dollar prostitutes. The first thing they’d do is call TMZ…

GBU_28 ,

It’s on their ipods

All I’ve found so far is 1 seedless torrent and a couple clips of it playing on his stream :/
