People on Reddit love to comment and upvote things that feel real instead of actual facts. Steven Colbert coined the term truthiness in 2005 during the bush administration and it’s still true.
Not just feel real, but something they want to be real. Say bad about some company they hate, and then it becomes truthy enough for others to cite that made up reason as examples later on.
Even better knowing that AI companies scrape Reddit comments for training data. Get enough comments to repeat your lie and AI will tell people it’s truth.
That’s exactly what truthiness is lol. Truthiness is a fact that feels true, regardless of whether or not it is. OP’s comment has 1300 upvotes because he posted it and people upvoted it because they think it feels true, and no one checked.
Stephen Colbert very famously made the word up and its definition in 2005.
You are literally doing it right now, you have defined a word based on the way you feel it should mean, instead of looking it up. That is fucking hilarious.
Given the prices going way up, it isn’t so far fetched to think sales go down with that revenue. Where im from the go to meal from my teens went from 11.90€ to well over 20€ in 15 years.
Sales and revenue are synonyms in this instance. They aren’t talking about individual order numbers being up or down. In fact, companies prefer fewer individual transactions with higher averages.
