FluentInFinance is basically just some botfarm made to pump some randos' newsletter. When I see the exact same posts on r/all as often as I do, even though I barely use the site, I just assume that people are either too busy arguing to question it, or anyone who notices it gets banned for mentioning it.
The latter is correct. Automod quietly hides any comments containing words and language commonly used to point out what they're doing. I'm astounded the site admins let such boldness fly.
