This is a news article about a reddit post

Responses to the viral video have been mixed, with some Reddit commenters lionizing the orangutan, while others side with the unlucky possum.

It reports on the state of the comment section

It is wild to me that that a publication founded by Alexander Hamilton keeps the lights on by reposting content found on Reddit.

If Reddit had existed in his time, Hamilton would have been a mod

We can't really know if the possum didn't deserve it. Maybe it was trying to sell crypto or something.
