Imagine what the poor bloke who had to delete this witnessed
I like to believe it’s Rick Santorum, with a growing paranoia that everything is becoming a synonym for scary lights on sex stuff.
They’re not the only ones:
Definitely not lol, this one also went well
And here you are, spreading their ads even in a community that’s super pretective of their adblocks. It works as indended.
I like to Edge by using a defective browser over and over before I open Firefox and climax.

So that’s what Edge is for!

Damn, why delete a post with 938 likes!?
Probably because they had accidentally asked people to share amateur porn with them. NSFW Wikipedia article about edging
I feel like they did it on purpose for the attention. Otherwise what would a “memorable edge” be? A screenshot of a website? They knew what they were doing.
It’s tough to tell with Microsoft, really. They’re definitely cynical and duplicitous enough to do it on purpose and play it off as an unfortunate mistake, but they’ve also shown themselves to be stupid and out of touch enough that it could be an ACTUAL mistake 🤷

Ever since Google became a verb, tons of other corporations have been super needy about wanting to be verbed, nouned or (as in this case) verbed and then nouned. It’s pathetic, really.
They actually paid money to get „bing it“ into tv shows:
So yes, they are absolutely that pathetic.
Haha that’s so sad. I only use Bing because I get a free month of gamepass every now and then through their points.
(Send me cheque now please MicroSoft)
stupid and out of touch enough
You have a point overall, but remember that whoever posts this is a person with writing and technology skills, it’s not done by a MS-approved committee. The person who wrote it might have free rein over the account, or they might be showing their tweets to an editor first, but one way or another some actual human had to put these sentences together and think about what they meant. So did MS hire and retain someone who has never heard of edging? Possible, but I find it hard to believe.

To put it in the nerdiest way possible: just because you have high INT doesn’t mean you have high WIS. And even if they did, they could have rolled a nat one on their arcana check.
Or in case you’re not into baseball: smart people are sometimes idiots and brainfarts happen.
Just because it’s amateur doesn’t mean it’s not good.
True, but it’s probably even more of a legal and PR minefield for Microsoft to ask people for than pro porn would have been lol

The article that you’re looking for doesn’t exist.
I got to the article. You might have a censorship problem.
Why on earth would they delete a post with nearly 1000 likes? Cant quite see why

Papa Roach gets a lot of mileage on Lemmy. Stay healthy my friends.
A bold question to ask on the internet.
