to hate "creators" using MN posts as if it was consensual.

[PyongyangKipperbang]

Doomscrolling on FB as I cant sleep and saw a video and thought "hang on, that rings a bell" so I had a wee google.

This being a thread that she used recently and there are many if you look at the profile. I hate the way that she presents it as if she has been asked when she is clearly just skimming MN.

I can’t follow the link, can you summarise the content you want a response on please?

She read an abridged version of the post as if she had been asked to give advice, and looking at her history, has done it many many times before.

How weird. Tiktok is a very odd place. I do remember that thread it was the Surprise Surprise one with the hilarious typo.

FB is Lisa.Divass

Sorry I don’t understand what you’re saying. Plus you’re heading refers to “creators” but you seem to be talking about just one pers

Do you mean someone is pretending that people are coming to her to ask her advice like an agony aunt but actually nobody came to her, she picked up MN threads for content?

So someone pretends that a post from a user to a forum was actually someone coming to her with a question, without ever mentioning MN?

Yep that. Sorry been a long and stressful day and now I cant sleep!

Yeah no mention of Cilla!

Daily Fail, the red tops et al....they all do it! But for some reason this one really has ground my gears.

It’s information on a publicly accessible website. What do you suggest?

People do this with the Reddit AmITheAsshole sub as well. Not much you can do about it, it’s public content.

It’s horrible all the same. Really dishonest

You hate it so much that you have posted links and the name of the account in separate posts? Thereby increasing her clicks and her revenue. It's almost like you're proactively marketing this account...

Honestly I don't understand why more people on here havent pushed MN to make some of the site at least private. Especially those concerned aboht data scraping.

Dishonesty on the internet? Whatever next!

I can assure you I am not, I have asked her why she is scraping stuff from MN but not mentioning its origins and acting like it is her stuff....no answer.

It probably happens the other way round with people writing posts on MN they have read about elsewhere on line.

You need to get a hobby

Probably true!

She’s making money. Fair play to her.

And now you’ve given her a ton more views! People rip off other’s content all the time.

It is up there with them instahuns going 'So, a lot of you have asked about my skincare routine' and then do the nail tapping thing showing off products where nobody, not one single person, not their friends, husbands or pets have ever asked as single question about their facecare but they still push it as if someone did.
