Which is it?!

This headline came up in my news feed, from a very dubious source so I decided to investigate.

Headline after headline, many from identical sources, about how Walmart and Bank of America are either going to stop taking $1 bills or keep accepting them. The headlines read like a FUD article and I refuse to click through to read the details.

I can’t find a reputable news source for this story so I’m assuming it’s fake news.

It shouldn’t be this easy to manipulate news feeds.

    I think step 2 might be done by AI now instead of humans, because AI can blindly copy articles faster.

    Step 4 would be AI blindly copying the person with more than two braincells, whcih is why there are duplicates of both versions.

      Either that or it’s a syndicated story

        Ah yes, the old style of automation. Why spend a trillion flops doing what 100 can?

          Marketing isn’t a fan yet. Give it a year, and then we can sell it as efficency.

        Yup, they blindly post whatever article because they all bought that article from the same source
