Congrats on being featured by Golf Digest u/Busy_Environment5574 😆
I take that life in retirement, either hitting balls every day or meeting presidents on the range occassionally.
Fox News has been doing this for years. It’s so strange and incredibly lazy.
that made up shit post I used AI to make was unfortunately not run by a national publication.
I used to think the dead internet thing was a conspiracy but these days I’m believing it more and more.
Go out, touch grass, enjoy the real world. Everything else is getting stupid fast.
No. That’s how news stories happen. They’re stories and people share them.
No I don’t think it’s strange , most of reddit is of this sort. Or even weirder people.
Waiting for a feature on the Nabisco bag guy
Golf Digest has the chance to do the funniest thing with this post
Next they will have a Netflix series generating AI versions of what is described on Reddit. Basically “Joan is Awful” for Reddit posts.
Lazy journalism but they follow R/Golf😂
Yeah… I hate when they repost my content
It’s not just golf. I see a ton of Reddit content being regurgitated on Facebook like it’s original. Or they make it seem they are quoting people from an interview but it’s really just quoting comments. I guess that’s the world we live in now.
AI article
Ha! Journalism has long been dead.
How much ad revenue do you think they made on this “story” they clearly didn’t ask permission for?
Golf Digest is absolute trash.
That’s how news works.
“Journalism”
As a former journalist in the outdoor industry, I scanned forums multiple times a day (some things never change) but I would message and ask if the poster would be willing to talk to me on the phone. The screenshotting posts is lazy at the best, and many times likely recirculating false stories at the worst.
News: “we read an unverified story on the internet…”
When actual reporting just seems too hard, all you have to do is scroll Reddit
Probably AI written also
There was no proof though lol.
I don’t think it’s strange at all. People get their information from different places all the time. Most of reddit is just information you could get from a better source elsewhere anyway.
See it all the time with video game posts. Journalism is dead
I made a post a while ago that got a lot of traction on this sub. It got reposted to death by every single golf IG account to the point that I wished I never posted it 😂
Someone on this subreddit reposted something I posted to Instagram and no one mentioned it 🤔
Jesus why is this topic seemingly a weekly post? Most of the stuff on Reddit is content from somewhere else. Hell a ton of posts on /r/golf are taken from somewhere else.
They couldn’t use the post if the username was offensive. Collective effort! Fight fake journalism! Tomorrow I’ll be u/assdrizzler69
This is why we all need extremely offensive usernames, they would think twice if the OP was PM_ME_UR_URETHRA
Now do local TV stations and every city subreddit in existence.
Super common. The front page of the internet because journalists are lazy
Man I should have been a writer.
They are scrambling
Gold Digest is garbage.
Did they even confirm with Obama it’s true. If not we should start making up stories and posting them to see what we can get in a magazine.
Most reddit posts now come from tiktok or twitter, so….
Nants ingonyama bagithi baba…
Maybe stop bragging about your personal experiences. **Not everything needs to be a public diary entry. You don’t have to broadcast every personal detail for internet points—this weird compulsion to turn lived experience into content isn’t mandatory.**
Sad excuse for journalism
