Can't say for certain... it's almost like there's ... there's these things. A bunch of them, just underneath the headline. Words and sentences in a smaller yet similar font which appear to be related to that very headline. They might even explain the situation in further detail...

Idk tho... I can't read, so I can't say for certain if these things are indeed related. You'd better ask chat GPT for an article summary, just to be sure.

Love the snark. The thing Lemmy needs the most is less engagement. So keep up your bullshit!

Second, I read the article, and nowhere did it mention if it was intentional. Which was the question. So maybe you need a lesson in reading comprehension.

I'm on the side where quality of comments > quantity of comments, but I do see how big data numbers via mindless engagement could have a similar kind of value. No relevancy to the article, however. I digress.

The first paragraph has the information you seek. If missed, fear not! It is mentioned at least one other time in the article (hint: look for the interview with the event staff). Good luck, and Godspeed! o7

At no point in the first paragraph does it say it is intentionally supposed to be a recreation of his death scene. It is mentioned throughout the article that the author and MS Now reporter that that’s what it is.

Now, where I am most dumbfounded by your comment is the fact that THERE IS NO INTERVIEW WITH THE STAFF. Did you misinterpret a report by a MS Now reporter as an interview with event staff?

I can’t believe you’re the one giving me shit. You gotta do more than look at the words. Comprehension is important too.
