Most of their casino postings ads are pretty blatant, but this one is so hilariously outrageous!

      This ad most certainly seems like AI word salad. Their actual news articles appear to be written by someone with a pulse. Maybe. 🤔

    AI written you think? Looks more like the whole article exists to promote the casino, not that the ad was inserted.

      Fucking gross.

      I would give up all the tech advances of the past 15 years if I could go back to the old internet.

      I follow their news updates via RSS, so pretty much every day I’ll get an outright casino/gambling ad that looks like an article written to share some topic about the casino industry or whatever. I ignore them after rolling my eyes.

      This was the first time I was reading, and re-reading, then laughing, then re-reading again… it truly is a spectacle!

    It’s like a Linus tech tips video

    I have seen hacked pages that were modified to display casino ads, except when a search engine crawls them.

    That’s wild. When I worked at the paper, ads had to be distinct and separate from the news.
