Stop calling me out 😢

What is the deal with this guy? He's been posting "insider" headlines for a couple of weeks. He obviously picked Bloomberg so he would get picked up by hungry finance news outlets.

It's a bot account that reposts bloomberg headlines automatically. Not a real person.

[–] HelluvaBottomCarter@hexbear.net 7 points 1 week ago (1 children)

It doesn't repost bloomberg headlines though. They tweeted the trump tariff pause before it was ever announced officially and Bloomberg didn't run the story before they posted it.

I think the info comes from bloomberg terminals

[–] HelluvaBottomCarter@hexbear.net 7 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Yeah I don' think bloomberg terminals transmit unannounced policy changes a day in advanced and I think if it did the news outlet that owns the terminals would say something before letting it get floated by a bot.

Well I don’t know what to tell you then. All I know is that that account has been around for years and is not a human.

Either a troll, a bot, or both.

Or potential both or one of those ... intentionally used as a sock puppet to facilitate basically insider trading... or state sponsered chaos generation agent.

??????

I... normally would have thought that... after the actual literal fake news posted by this account recently caused a massive stock swing upward... than then basically undid itseld after several news agencies revealed oh shit this source is fake maybe we should not have just reported it as fact...

I would nornally think people would avoid this account after that.

But uh, no, apparently not, apparently everyone is a moron.

This is a satire account i'm pretty sure.. i don't have xitter so i can't confirm tho

[–] SexUnderSocialism@hexbear.net 10 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (4 children)

It doesn't seem to be a satire account. This person just does nothing but post headlines and quotes from various news articles without posting the source.

[–] SexUnderSocialism@hexbear.net 6 points 1 week ago

Ah, yeah that makes sense.

[–] kleeon@hexbear.net 17 points 1 week ago

He would fit perfectly in the news mega

[–] BelieveRevolt@hexbear.net 8 points 1 week ago

I think it's a feed from a Bloomberg terminal that just reposts the article titles.

[–] peeonyou@hexbear.net 6 points 1 week ago (1 children)

[–] SexUnderSocialism@hexbear.net 5 points 1 week ago
