Among the star-studded Super Bowl ads that viewers saw during Sunday’s game was an awkward 30-second spot, filmed vertically on an iPhone, in which the rapper Ye talks about his new teeth and instructs the audience to go to Yeezy.com.

As of the morning after the game, when they visited the site, shoppers could find exactly one item for sale: a white T-shirt emblazoned with a swastika.

    “Sealioning is a type of trolling or harassment that consists of pursuing people with relentless requests for evidence, often tangential or previously addressed, while maintaining a pretense of civility and sincerity, and feigning ignorance of the subject matter.”

      Okay, you’ve got me there. You stopped maintaining any pretense of civility when you realized I was not going to indulge your “we can’t tell for sure if Elon is a Nazi just because of all the Nazi things he does and supports” nonsense. Then you started getting outright hostile.

        Whatever squid.

        Your modus operandi to bring awareness on this site is at odds with itself and you are going to spin in circles in the echo chamber until you grow up.

          Ah, you’re now telling me things I didn’t know about myself in two threads.

          That’s my modus operandi? When did that become my modus operandi? Can I have a date, please? I’d like to note it down somewhere.

            Excuse the assumption that your motivations are in good faith and not self-centered pursuit of praise in the form of points to justify the other 8 hrs a day you arent shitposting.

              Oh, that’s what I’m doing! Thanks for letting me know all of that, it’s all totally new to me.

              Do tell me more about myself!

                I cant actually read your posts on the sync app at this stage, as the text columns are a letter long, so ill accept your apology (i think thats what i says) and just hope you will try to be better.
