Brand engagement slop (TM) is truly the worst timeline (CW: Meat)

Content warning for meat mention??
- Yes, it's required by community rules

Imagine being the person hired to write this "article" about a tweet. Just advertising a brand because your boss told you to do it.
Did this "Diana Bradley" go home and drink herself to sleep?
Did she get a chatbot to write most of the article to save herself the embarrassment?
Did she justify it to herself, saying it's still making a living, she's got bills to pay, she has no other choice etc?
Or is she a true believer, who saw a funny tweet by her favourite fried chicken place and was ecstatic to get to write an article about it?
- Maybe Diana Bradley does not exist and is only a persona for AI articles
- Like many slop lifestyle journalist, she's probably just browsing twitter on her couch and found a "lead" for an article

To hell with corporate social media hot takes and memes. You pay people shit wages and try to block unions.
- If it makes you feel any better, the person who wrote that tweet probably works from home and makes six figures to shitpost while regular Popeyes employees get ground to the bone for $17 an hour or less
  
  That makes me feel worse

Why did we need to see this?

shut the fuck up, brand

The fact that people have so easily absorbed marketing lingo in their daily lives is what disgusts me the most. Everyone is so willing to "consume" everything even when that doesn't make any goddamned sense. Generalizing generations is so damned common people think it's a real thing, even beyond the USian borders.. just the other day on stormfront there were some dingdongs talking about "boomers" in China being a certain way. I hate this timeline.

Oh no they got me. I can feel the communism leaving my body, I have the desire to participate in brunch and
for Hillary Clinton

that's corny
- naturally, I have been calling them "the most catholic fast food chain" for years

I’m so glad that the slop dispenser run by the nazi diddler who hates everyone including me is also #relatable.

This one gave me a mild exhale.

♫ 'CAUSE IT MEANS TWO THINGS ♫
♫ AND THAT'S KINDA REQUIRED OF THAT SORT OF THING YEAH ♫
