As a gay guy, I call bullshit on that, unless you're bi and have first-hand experience.
It's visually convincing (looks like a proper old-timey newspaper article, even has a misspelling/adapted name that nobody would use today), and OP even included the context with the source and date above the pic. I've seen the pic before, and if it were fake, nobody would manage/bother to add the original date it was published in.
It is a funny pic, I'll give you that.
This so much. Years ago I've had it push Moon landing denial videos in my recommendations, even though I've never watched videos on conspiracies or anything of the sort at the time. The closest I got were pop-sci channels such as Vsauce, Numberphile... It's just trying to hook you onto the garbage content and garbage ideas because they have good and loyal viewership.
But the articles literally don't exist. It's 2024, do we still have to explain that chatbots can generate nonexistent "scientific" references?
This is so obviously generated by GPT, none of these articles exist.
Why they were down, you mean? In their TG channel they mentioned a cyberattack, that's all I know.
True, the .li domain was still fine.
There's also Anna's Archive, which I use primarily, since it provides downloads not just from their own db, but links to Libgen and other places where the given book is available.
Most domains (other than .li) were down for several days, making people worried it's gone for good.
Perhaps a paid app to track and manage your subscriptions...
I've just reported you to the mods. It was nice to know you.
