Update: We're messing up Melania Trump's Amazon search results (lemmy.world)

This is an update to this post.

This weekend, Amazon is premiering its $40 million Melania Trump documentary. It's pretty clearly a bribe to the Trump family.

We're going to disrupt the big premiere weekend by messing up Melania's Amazon search results. Specifically, we're going to amplify the paranormal erotic thriller novel Melania: Devourer of Men so it's high in the results. Maybe #1!

The book is perfect: It's absurd, the cover is ridiculous, and it's free, so we're not giving Amazon any money. (Fun fact: It's free because of YOU, the users of A Boring Dystopia. After your comments on the last post I reached out to the author, and they agreed to make the book free this weekend.)

Currently, the book ranks #29 in Amazon search results for Melania. But all the other Melania results seem pretty weak (lol), so we can pull this off pretty easily. We just need people to:

"Buy" the book (it's free)
Share this post and get other people to "buy" the book.

That's it.

Here's a link to the book, in case your Lemmy client stripped out the links above: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07HN9XC1H

Please share and we can celebrate as an erotic novel about a bat monster Melania Trump becomes a higher and higher search result on Amazon!

I just had an epiphany. i was on a team that made a film my senior year of high school. it was a little high school short. i mean, scott ran a good crew it was high quality for high school short but it was still a 30 minute high school short. i ran the camera and my forearm also played The Lunch Lady (uncredited). We sold it to HBO. I don't know our viewing statistics or how much it sold for (this was our buddy Scott's dream, we were just along for the ride and to help him get there), we won a handful of film festivals and scott no joke got an award at Sundance but there were about 400 people at our premiere. I can now say I no joke beat the Melania movie and that gives me a little hit of dopamine, maybe a big one let's see how this goes.

every kid on youtube is a more successful creator if they've earned back enough money to pay for their webcams omg.

I'm sure most of his base will rub one out to it.
