So weird...I don't use FB much because it's 90% reccos for things/persons I don't follow, and while some are in my wheelhouse, it's such an obvious ploy to trick me into wasting time at the virtual mental hospital it has become.
Anyhow, my old friends in the band Justice League (a fairly obscure SoCal punk/hc band from the early '80s) played some reunion shows to benefit the daughter of a longtime scenester who recently passed. One of the posts had six or seven comments like this
We just can’t attend anymore, Please let me know if you know anyone who’s looking for Tickets or if you’d possible want to take them off me.Like,Comments and PM me..I’ll make a great deal. Thanks
damn - OK sure "Tati even", a "model" with zero friends/followers. Is it some sort of AI-driven scambot that just does this automatically to any post talking about a live gig? Instagram and TikTok must have even more scammers floating around...
It's not the spectacular Black Mirror episodes that we should fear, it's this infinite mundane bottom-scraping, a digital shit-patch covering 98% of the "Internet of Things".
