Streisand effect?
A mod changed the title to something other than the originally submitted original article title, to protect a major VC.
Not cool.

- danudey 10mo agoThe baity-feeling title is actually pretty spot-on, honestly.
- anigbrowl 10mo agoBad call. 'Major VC firm investing in slop farm' is the newsworthy aspect here. 'startup selling slop as a service' is mildly interesting but there are lots of companies like that already.

- exasperaited 10mo ago> Major VC firm investing in slop farm And this would be an entirely clickbait-free, fact-based summary of what they are doing. It's not far off fraud as a service. This activity could get people prosecuted in EU countries and the UK.
