I’ve been thinking about how Dylan would never say what a song is about, and how maybe we should talk more about what inspires our art. Ohio must sound great when you hear it for the first time, but when you learn the context, what’s your reaction?

Will put link in comments to the true story it’s based on

Ohio

If you follow this subreddit at all, you've probably noticed a glut of posts about Diddy - which, fair, it's a wild story and worth talking about.

As I've said in the past, a very small number of users are responsible for these posts. Since I made that post, 2 more usernames have popped up that have made the front page several times by posting articles from websites that are incredibly suspicious.

/u/JuicyBrains9999 has posted to this subreddit 7 times in the past week. All of this account's highly-upvoted posts come from "insidenewshub.com".

/u/maximum-ad3652 has also posted from that website as well as "globalbenefit.co.uk" in the past 24 hours.

I've also seen a couple links from "fitfunmagazine.com" (users creampieyourselff and odd_currency_3246)

What is very suspicious is that googling the domain of any of these 3 sites returns nothing but links from those sites and posts of those links to sites like reddit

Seriously, just drop the quoted domain name into a google search (DO NOT VISIT THE WEBSITE) and you'll find nothing about these websites other than the sites themselves and reddit posts. EVERY legitimate news site I've tried this with turns up a wikipedia page or some other way to validate that it's legitimate.

insidesnewshub.com:

Registered 3 months ago by someone in Iceland

globalbelefit.co.uk:

Registered a year ago through a US Registrar - because they went through a registrar, no public information is available on who actually registered the website, unlike the other two (although that information is minimal and blocked to prevent doxxing here)

fitfunmagazine.com:

Registered this month

I don't know what the goal is of these sites, but I grew up in an era where you if you wanted to protect your computer, you were careful about what links you clicked. I highly advise not visiting any of these sites and being cautious around any articles from unfamiliar links posted here.

Best case it's junk journalism trying to get some ad dollars. Middle case it's some kind of propaganda play. Worst case these sites are maliciously tracking users and/or installing malware.

If you were to look at this subs front page, you might be fooled into thinking everything is normal. However, browsing the normal Reddit homepage or /r/all it's very clear something has changed recently.

The majority of the posts I'm seeing are posts with 0 upvotes and they are always a really terrible, rage inducing takes like "rap is terrible" "I don't like Beyonce" "Kendrick Lemar is overrated".

And look, I'm not saying any of those things are necessarily wrong, it's a matter of opinion obviously. But the only discussion they're generating is negative. The algorithm has clearly changed and posts are now getting prioritised by engagement/rage instead of upvotes.

Surely I'm not the only one who has noticed this. And it's definitely not exclusive to /r/music. Same over on /r/AskReddit (which I've had to unsubscribe from due to it being even worse over there with the US election going on).

What can be done here? Would love some feedback so I know I'm not going crazy.

Hi, I recently went through a break up and wanted some sad music to listen to and I was recommended to listen to Jeff.

I’d heard of him of course, but wasn’t really familiar with much of his stuff apart from hallelujah.

My God, this guy is simply amazing. a wonderful voice an amazing lyricist and a brilliant guitar player. I have now been listening to him on repeat for 72 hours and it’s helping.

I’d love to hear any recommendations for your favourite songs by Jeff. Also, does anyone know if there’s any movies or documentaries about him? Thanks.

So frustrated I cannot watch the music video on YouTube or anywhere …. Any source? Says not available in country and would need consent from SESAC.. whatever that means. Been obsessed with this song on Apple / Spotify for a few years now.

…oh man, it just breaks my heart. All the old footage of the Man in Black on top of the footage of his aging self playing the song, it really hits you right in the feels. RIP Johnny, hope you and June are happy together now…
