An idyllic oceanside McDonalds just cements my hatred of capitalism even more.

There's one in Tahiti right over the lagoon, it's great to be honest but I feel you...

Is this just bots talking to bots?

I’m pretty sure McDonald’s Cyrus isn’t a bot.

McDonald's Cyrus? Like that Persian dude?

[–] AstroKevin 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

No no, that's Miley's uncle.

No, she took that name when she married. Miley McDonald Cyrus. From her Scottish husband, Angus McDonald. Yes, that Angus, whose name is on the beef.

No big company would let a bot solely do their social media. Waaaay too much potential to cause a PR disaster. They'll use bots to do stuff like search for posts, schedule posts, and come up templates, but a human would definitely be involved in some point of every single post.

This is probably some human who is told to basically spend all day searching for people referencing McDonalds and replying to their comment based on their tone. They probably do it so much that they were half in autopilot and didn't notice who posted it or how it looked so obviously like an ad.

Me thinks this is McDonald's pr staff doing this intentionally so someone would them notice the "mistake" and post it on social media and end up advertising then for free

That moment when you want to share a random photo of a beach on twitter, but you're not sure if OP is 18.

Isn't that just because a person under 18 can't agree to a contract? Without their parents, that is. How long has McDonald's been on Cyprus?
