Redditors Successfully Troll AI News Mill with Fake WoW Feature

Redditors pranked an AI-powered news mill by posting a fake announcement about the introduction of "Glorbo" to World of Warcraft. The news mill, called The Portal, mindlessly regurgitated the post and published an article about Glorbo, likely written by a bot. This incident exposed the automated content scraping of Reddit by The Portal and prompted users to try to game the bots. The prank gained attention on social media, leading The Portal to take down the Glorbo post and remove all World of Warcraft content from its site. The content scraping is likely done to boost the search rankings of The Portal and increase traffic to the site.
