Sometimes I legit need the site for niche things. Asked for advice about an AirBNB. This time I had literal fecal water coming up from the shower drain. The host claimed it was impossible. I had him come into my unit and flush the toilet and he saw the water come up.
Half the replies were about me clogging the toilet (lol) so it was my fault. Others were saying plumbing issues can be common and to be patient with the host. Had some other replies just straight up calling me dishonest and saying I broke the drain somehow.
Looked into their profiles, low and behold they were all on real estate subs, wall street bets, landlord subs, air bnb host subs, etc. You get the picture. And there were enough of them to sort of shift the narrative in the replies.
Fucking gross and annoying. Just wanted to vent. Got my host to at least start working on the problem. Based on a little snooping the host is a toolbag who got a little inheritance so that bought a place he can barely afford. So he does the plumbing and maintenance all himself while living here. He can't actually afford to be doing this, but the profits are too good to pass up!
Okay, sure. Instagram is an absolute cesspit. The comments on every damn thing are some form of bigotry. It's insane how fucking right wing everyone there is. It's not in the usual libshit way, but like actually denying people's existence, or calling groups animals. Racist old talking points that should have died out in my grandparents generation. I try to scroll to let it know I don't want to see it, but it's just everywhere. I follow several left wing creators and it just doesn't matter. It's one of the worst fucking apps I've ever used. The algorithm also sucks compared to tic tok. I wouldn't even use it if you could easily download videos to send on other places.
Wait, really?
I'm using it and there are a lot of accounts that are left-wing, but I get that we may be the minority there.
hmm. I swear the comments used to be filled with garbage like that. Maybe the algorithm finally learned I don't like that stuff, or maybe they've started moderating more. I definitely remember them being pretty awful (that's why I stopped reading them/using Instagram less), but I couldn't find anything like that after a little bit of scrolling.
Fair, fair.
