Younger folk are getting really good at spotting AI slop, to the consternation of marketing execs.

The good news is that if it persists and Gen Z and Gen Alpha continue to scoff at the generated stuff, then marketing departments aiming at them will just have to give up on using it because they won't be able to figure out how to fool their targets with it.

The bad news is that this won't apply to scams and campaigns aimed at older people, so once again we're going to have a situation where the kids will be the ones lunging across the coffee table to stop Mom from giving her financial info to that really obvious fake scam mom oh my god do NOT buy that it isn't even a real thing.

Basically, Mr grifter announced that he might be getting into the collecting side of yugioh, which would lead to the scalping hell that now plagues the Pokémon and One Piece TCGs

As a joke, MBTYugioh gave them pointers on what to “invest in”, recommending some of the WORST shit products that this game released in the years

He then followed up with a tongue-in-cheek, clearly trolling video recommending shit like Legendary Duelists sets, Duelist of Deep and Synchro Storm, and the Platinum cards, and exclusive COINS before ending the video with “Don’t invest in yugioh. You will lose money due to this game’s reprint policies”

Like, it was very obvious for anyone with half-a-brain cell and is familiar with Yugioh that the video is a joke

BUT a bunch of scalping bots took the video at face value and bought out these doodoo, worthless products immediately after his fuckass video came out

🎉 Former foster Maggie (from 2011, who came to us pregnant and then had SIX kittens!) is doing great.

Alex says: "Maggie continues to be healthy and well. He adopted nephews terrorize each other but leave Maggie alone. In fact, Pack, our biggest ginger & white cat, is Maggie’s constant snuggler. She is still my lap cat; though I don’t work from home anymore. We both had to adjust to the separation. It’s starting to get warm here in Wisconsin, so Maggie gets quite a bit of outside time, and we can tell she still has a hunter’s instinct whenever there is a chipmunk around. Nothing caught this year so far, but the season is young and there are plenty of critters to be found. So yeah, I love my Maggie dearly and am grateful that she is in my life even though she only expresses her love through looks of apathy and disinterest. She’s a great cat who continues to have a great life."
