Some affiliate marketer running A/B/C/D analytics on a fake review site. Maybe one of the sites gets better SEO rankings, or a higher click-through rate on the payload. The data will be duly noted and applied to the optimization of future reviews and review blogs.

None of the “reviewers” reviewed anything, or was ever in the same room as any of the products “tested”. No effort was made to provide value to you, the reader. Everything on those pages is committed to a single purpose: defrauding Google into defrauding their user base with bad search results. Probably LLM co-authored too, but I’ve seen similar things before the recent AI boom.

Marketers will destroy anything of value if allowed. This is why we can’t have nice things.

Some do, and inter-library loans are a thing.

I now see that the body part in the penultimate image is an eyelid. The first one still looks like pink fuzzy penises to me. What do you think it is?

So don’t poop in the kitchen sink. Got it!

There are, and my state would have banned those too it they’d heard about them when they were banning RCV. They weren’t making principled objections like monotonicity failures. They likely noticed that most of RCV’s loudest advocates were from the wrong party (and some of the were the wrong color too!), and figured that was a good enough reason to shut it down.

I would have understood Michaelmas as the feast day of Saint Michael. My studies of hagiography are too limited to say which day that is or why he got sainted. Nor did I know that British people used (maybe still use) that term to refer to an entire season.

Probably spoofed, but that doesn’t necessarily make it meaningless. If you convert numbers to letters per the telephone code, and treat 1 as a space or similar punctuation. It might resolve to KISH NORM. Is that phrase meaningful to you? Do you know anyone who would spoof a callerid to send you that message?
