i think

@Scribe this is general chat

Waw, a real chat with people

Yes

no, not real people

Man, what a winner you guys caught

explain?

if you order 1 banana you'll get a free coupon for 0.001 off your next order of a dell usb stick (no wire or device included)

So

What's actually happening

Is people use bananas as test orders for bots, to test to make sure your account isn't banned, as well as condition it on the server ip to help it not get banned/locked. So you order 1 banana per account because it's cheap, and just don't pick them up.

Those are all bot accounts

Do they rotate from something else? You think target would just flag anyone who order a single banana

ordering a single banana is completely normal behaviour though

Nah target is dumb

As evident by nobody here noticing what's going on

It's really easy to spot

Like nobody is actually going to drive to target for 1 1$ item

So, I fell asleep before talking about it earlier

but that "digital Grinch" bill is the most unenforceable way to combat scalpers ever

I bet your servers are just laughing at it

how would making it illegal even change anything

they're literally tacking it on to a bill that outlaws reselling sports tickets

you know.... that thing that there's a whole industry around

guess that law banning this in 2015 worked really well

but like

the law is also like 5 lines

are they just going to yell at amazon to make their bot detection better?

"uh, the FTC will do something, and make companies do something"

sounds about right

Cyber Grinch

is also

spooky do 90% of laws even do anything?

the worst rename ever

no

most laws passed since 2000 have been unenforcible, or are shadow laws that just authorize the NSA/FBI to do illegal shit with no oversight

so what is the goal?

The reason people still argue about Obama care

politicians getting reelected?

is because it's literally one of the only laws passed in the last 10 years

that did anything

making it look like they are doing something?

idk anymore

I kind of believe politicians are like Rob

and think this is "doing something"

idk if I buy that it's all just theatre

In some respect, it's good that the government doesn't really do much

ok but you know the soccer moms actually think they are doing shit

after they read that bloomberg article

true tho

the good news, is they're not doing anything the bad news, it that it's expensive

just annoying that people get to hold a job for doing fuck all

yes

they justify getting more money by pretending to do things

the government has no inherent reason to care about anything besides its own self interests. it won't respond to human values unless there is some agent that gives it an actual reason to care. and voting isn't human since that many people together is just statistics, which can be analyzed and exploited better than ever in today's era.
