This is the internet. Always assume people are selling something.

In this case? MAYBE it is someone advertising their handyman service (doubtful because this is a nonsense premise). More likely? It is the same as all those posts about the fucking aligator or puppy and all the ai generated jesus missing a leg and wearing a military uniform pictures where people say “Why don’t these posts ever go viral”? It is nonsense that boomers stare at and share.

Which in and of themselves are “harmless”. But when the metrics for those posts get high enough? THAT is when the owner of those bots post ads.

Screenshotting with no citation kind of undermines that so… good? But it is important to understand why content like this exists.
