Disrupt Amazon's "Melania" premiere weekend (lemmy.world)

Amazon is releasing a documentary about Melania at the end of this month. They paid $40 million for it, which is WAY above normal. The whole thing is pretty transparently a way to funnel a bribe to the Trump family.

Typically, there's nothing we could do about this. However, since this is all going to happen on Amazon Prime, we have a rare opportunity to disrupt this release. How? By making some other Melania content trend on that weekend.

After looking around Amazon, I think the best pick is this:

Melania: Devourer of Men

It's an erotic novel about Melania Trump as some kind of bat monster. It's absurd, the cover is ridiculous, and it would SO good if we could get this trending on Amazon on January 30, when the Melania doc comes out.

But I don't know a ton about how to do this. Does anyone have experience here? We'd probably have to branch out and get some anti-Trump Lemmy (and reddit?) communities involved.

If Amazon wants their shitty movie to appear at the top of seaches for "Melania" then it will, regardless of what is actually trending. They control the algorithm, it'll do what they tell it to.
