Scrolling until it isn’t showing someone seated in a car. A small part of me finds it interesting, but most of me hurts that that video and its screenshots were mined for algorithm keywords to mistakenly interpret me as just engaging more with posts that have “people in cars.” 😰

OH MY GOD!! My Discover feed has been busted for a few days, but I was thinking something looked especially weird across the already odd collection of posts just now, until I got to the last one and realized what was happening. Do you see it?

Vinnie, I’m finally coming to battle you!! Thanks for waiting! 😅 #plza

The percentages probably won’t seem too bad to many until they consider just how many active users they report having… this is horrifying

I am having to mix in some afk periods to increase my encounters at this point, or I will never battle Vinnie at this rate…

Staryu - Phase 2, 375 encounters
Helioptile - Inaccessible currently
