I wonder why a 2-week-old account would post a 4-year-8-month-old comic in the same month that a new film in this series is coming out.

Ironically, your comment made me much more aware of a new movie coming out than the post.

It's also kind of funny using account age as a gotcha on a service that most people only signed up for 2 months ago at the earliest, and where people can and do move instances.

NickwithaC SAW shill confirmed?

We're the product?!?!

Could just be a new person who wants to make a good impression and came across it recently for the exact reason you provided. No need to get conspiratorial about it. Dunno if you're suggesting the film would hire someone to do this or what, but feel like it's a bit more likely it's just innocuous.

O shit, new SAW coming out? I thought they were done with that.

Yeah, not a shill, or a paid poster. Just noticed there's not a huge amount of content here, and saw other really old memes being posted here, so went digging in my phone for some old goodies.

If I was trying to promote things, let's see... I'm paid by: -beans -dogs of the underworld -SAW franchise

lemmy.world user don't assume a small coincidence is a conspiracy/funded bot challenge (impossible)

Age of account kinda means nothing. I have a bunch of accounts on different instances for when some go down.

Is the new film a sequel to spiral? First I'm hearing of this

From the trailer it looks like he's still alive, this is either another prequel or they're ret-conning a whole lot of the terrible sequel shit.

[–] Sho 2 points 1 year ago

Oh good God they already ret-conned the crap out of it with all of his "assistants" I gave up at blue laser collars of "death"
