Update: We're messing up Melania Trump's Amazon search results (lemmy.world)

This is an update to this post.

This weekend, Amazon is premiering its $40 million Melania Trump documentary. It's pretty clearly a bribe to the Trump family.

We're going to disrupt the big premiere weekend by messing up Melania's Amazon search results. Specifically, we're going to amplify the paranormal erotic thriller novel Melania: Devourer of Men so it's high in the results. Maybe #1!

The book is perfect: It's absurd, the cover is ridiculous, and it's free, so we're not giving Amazon any money. (Fun fact: It's free because of YOU, the users of A Boring Dystopia. After your comments on the last post I reached out to the author, and they agreed to make the book free this weekend.)

Currently, the book ranks #29 in Amazon search results for Melania. But all the other Melania results seem pretty weak (lol), so we can pull this off pretty easily. We just need people to:

"Buy" the book (it's free)
Share this post and get other people to "buy" the book.

That's it.

Here's a link to the book, in case your Lemmy client stripped out the links above: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07HN9XC1H

Please share and we can celebrate as an erotic novel about a bat monster Melania Trump becomes a higher and higher search result on Amazon!

That she's a manananggal makes it even funnier 🤣🤣🤣

[–] Wildmimic@anarchist.nexus 4 points 3 months ago (2 children)

what is a manamanagal?

[–] dream_weasel@sh.itjust.works 4 points 3 months ago

You can't afford it.

It's a folk monster from the Philippines. A person who at night splits their torso in half in search of people to eat (or was it the one that eats fetuses from pregnant women?).

You kill it by burning the lower half before the upper half can return to it.

cool, thanks! funnily enough a single game on steam features this monster - i just had to look if its featured somewhere - and it released this january... but it looks pretty bad

I've been thinking that ever since I saw her sitting next to her obviously stroke-afflicted husband at that failed Army extravaganza on his birthday, looking like she was just waiting to snatch his soul. There's even a mention of her in the Wikipedia page:

In the erotic novel Melania: Devourer of Men (2018), Melania Trump is depicted as a manananggal who must keep her identity hidden after her husband becomes President of the United States. The novel has been discussed in several podcasts.

It's definitely a look that suits them both, lol.

Don't forget to 5 star it! This author's stuff is brilliant: Forbidden Loveseat: A JD Vance & Usha Novel

[–] HootinNHollerin@lemmy.dbzer0.com 5 points 3 months ago

Got both LOL

[–] Surp@lemmy.world 4 points 3 months ago

Don't buy it don't download it. Give it zero time.

[–] bestbry@lemmy.world 3 points 3 months ago (1 children)

I can see it but can’t buy in Brazil :(

[–] Peruvian_Skies@sh.itjust.works 3 points 3 months ago

Likewise.

[–] Tollana1234567@lemmy.today 2 points 3 months ago

it was money laundering pure and simple.

[–] Jumi@lemmy.world 2 points 3 months ago

Getting an Amazon account?

No, thank you

Amazon Prime Video and Amazon the online store are two separate apps. This will have no impact unless it’s googled, and we push the book to the top. But simply searching “melania movie” will filter out the book.

We’re also way too small of a community (the fediverse at large even) to even push that kind of thing to impact any SEO.
