    This was thankfully debunked as fake

    Edit; I looked for the post, I couldn’t find it, IM SORRY. There was evidence that she made it up for clout but I don’t remember anything more than that.

      So it doesn’t actually work well when you say that the claim without source was debunked… And you also don’t provide source.

      Whatchoo talking about, bro?

        The meme itself is not even a source.

        Like, me saying I had lunch with sasquatch is not something someone needs to rigorously debunk.

          I mean I get what you’re saying but… One is a hairy apeman people claim to see in the woods, the other is companies doing something unethical and shady to improve their bottom line which there is absolutely precedent for.

          Yeah it’s unlikely this story is real but your analogy makes no sense

            Both are things people will believe without evidence because they want to believe it.

            A hairy ape man in the woods is cool. Shitting on businesses is cool.

            A restaurant stole my wallet once. Prove me wrong.

        It’s a fucking meme, of course it doesn’t have a source. No one in their right mind would trust this as fact anyway.

      I’ve seen others saying it’s legit.

      Also would be pretty hard to substantiate or debunk definitively.

      Concrete evidence would be, say, the tiktoker in question being caught out or admitting it was fabricated.

      I’ll show you my source if you show me yours.

      Dang so it’s advertising that this is an untapped idea

      Hire the VAs (Virtual Assistants) now to start ghostkitching (catfishing)! Great return on investment 😬
