This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.

This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?

Just post some stuff and don't spam.

For more money*

This shill op is to condition peasants to accept shrinkflation after they double the prices over last 4 years aka inflation

Prices rarely go down and they ran them to the peak so now they reducing portion sizes

Industry paid good money for that PR release.

What about the last four years makes you think they need an op to enact shrinkflation?

If they didn't need propaganda, they would waste ton of money on it.

Game 101

Regimes leanred it works in early 20th century.

Corpo's been using PR slop since world war 2

Advent of marketing corpos in 21st century, and their election meddling clearly shows it works.

Your reasoning is circular though.

You're claiming that you know this is an industry paid article because it's pushing the industry PR line about shrinkflation, and you know that they need to push the industry PR line because it's a paid for article.
