News.com.au using this sub for content

I have a dirty secret. I read news.com.au throughout the day to get up to date on covid fear mongering articles and hearing how Nadia Bartel showed off her taut abs at the beach on the weekend.

What i’ve noticed is this sub being referenced alot. I cannot find the original post but here’s this one on a recent post on scam texts: https://www.news.com.au/technology/online/hacking/why-you-should-never-open-these-text-messages/news-story/ff0e5511760e8a4fdb89fcc192aa3bab

I’m not sure if it’s been called out before but I kinda find it odd like our random debates and shit talk on everything and anything helps someone conjure up ideas and content for daily ‘news’ . What are your thoughts on it all?
