Must be so easy being a sports journalist, just ask everyone about Messi/Ronaldo all the time, and get easy clicks.

Disculpame si te rompí la cola, así es el periodismo champagne

I was just asking myself how these posts still make it to the top of this sub each time. Does anyone still find it interesting who people think is better of the two?

Genuinely insane this shite is allowed on r/soccer considering what gets removed

That's also a method for getting upvotes here - find a news story where they asked some schmuck about who the GOAT is, post it here and get like 3K upvotes guaranteed.

Can't wait to exchange all my upvotes for cash one day.

You missed out on the opportunity to really sell your account when they got rid of awards.

Every nonsensical Pep quote gets like 2k upvotes. On the most recent one, nearly all the comments were "Why is this upvoted? So tired of hearing from him"

There's a load of casuals who just want to read the same crap again and again and again, they don't necessarily comment but they do upvote.

I used to work for a sports media page and half of my job was just refreshing this subreddit to source quotes about Messi and Ronaldo to post on Twitter/Instagram. Was always the top-performing content by a mile.

I fucking knew it

[–] magicallydelinquent@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago (1 children)

it's hardly a secret at this point with how many articles reference reddit and twitter comments

[–] AnnieIWillKnow@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago (1 children)

I even got £50 for a photo of mine the Daily Mail stole off Reddit

[–] Kirsty-Blue@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Was it paid out automatically or did you have to hound them for it?

[–] AnnieIWillKnow@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

The latter, they didn't ask me for permission, just stole it

You're internet royalty mate.
