evilroosterOh, what a tangled Internet they weave
Who want to pay for shills to viral-post.
Thus do they practice, seeking to deceive,
Dilution of the thing they value most.
I mean our trust, because if this thing spreads
We'll read with extra care—and question more—
Their zombie-filled and advert-bloated threads
Until we learn which posters to ignore.
Whoever dreamt this folly clearly knows
The cost of every post, the worth of none.
They pay a listed price for posting prose,
But not for verse, and no one's paid to pun.
I challenge you: illumine what we see.
Be not content to simply content be.
