reddit.com/r/esist/comments/1qqqe05/get_in_were_messing_up_melanias_amazon_searchGet in. We're messing up Melania's Amazon search results
This weekend, Amazon is premiering its $40 million Melania Trump documentary. It already seems to be a flop.
But we're going to take it one step further 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 ranks higher than her movie. {MORE}@503bartley @cstross done. It showed as 1st in Canada.

I'd be shocked if Amazon doesn't have a "force as top result" bit for their in-house items, but I'd be happy to be wrong!

@richrockster @503bartley @cstross
1st in kindle results for me!
@CurlyParakeet @richrockster @503bartley @cstross @jwz searching from an account that hasn’t looked at it, it comes up second in a search on Amazon for Melania when I checked just now.

OUCH! "It’s one of those rare, unicorn films that doesn’t have a single redeeming quality. I’m not even sure it qualifies as a documentary, exactly, so much as an elaborate piece of designer taxidermy, horribly overpriced and ice-cold to the touch"
https://www.theguardian.com/film/2026/jan/30/melania-review-trump-film-is-a-gilded-trash-remake-of-the-zone-of-interest@cstross It can’t be a documentary if it’s propaganda. The two categories are mutually exclusive.

They're not far off, either.
I just turned up this. Apparently, 4 people joined The Metro's reviewer on opening night, plus an additional 1 who was apparently another movie reviewer.
So a third of the audience was people who were being paid to watch the movie. (-:

Amusing coincidence: Kimberley Bond also writes features for Cosmo.

https://www.theguardian.com/film/2026/jan/30/melania-review-trump-film-is-a-gilded-trash-remake-of-the-zone-of-interest@cstross Whew, thanks for the heads up.
LOL. I wasn't going to see it.

The book is perfect: It's absurd, the cover is ridiculous, and it's free, so we're not giving Amazon any money.
redditors have already pushed the book high: It's currently the 15th result when you search "Melania Trump." That's crazy. 2 days ago it wasn't even on the first page. With a little more push, we can keep this moving up the charts. We just need people to:
"Buy" the book (it's free)
Share this post and get other people to buy the book. {MORE}@503bartley @cstross Done! I absolutely love this idea. Use Amazon against itself.

@UweHalfHand @503bartley @cstross For me too. #2 for both "Melania" and "Melania Trump".
It's rising on Amazon Germany too. #3 for "Melania" and #4 for "Melania Trump".
@Corax42 @UweHalfHand @503bartley @cstross
Currently 2nd on the list! -
I too was concerned for their wellbeing afterwards.
And they don't have the option of doing what that lady who left after 20 minutes did.

The Daily Record reported a total of 16 tickets sold in Edinburgh and Glasgow as of this morning. ABC reported 50 pre-booked tickets across the whole of Australia for opening day.

@JdeBP @arrrg@kolektiva.social @cstross (surprisingly, many reviewers do not sit through a whole performance. make of that what you will.)

Ok, Monsterdon fans, are you willing to allow a spyware visible search on Amazon for a novel titled *’Melania: Devourer of Men’* in the interest of the greater good?
It’s currently selling for $6.53 on Amazon.ca if you really want a paperback copy but the ebook download is free.
Reddit has proposed an effort to get this trending.

@AlsoPaisleyCat @503bartley @cstross So how does this work, we just go to Amazon and search for "Melania: Devourer of Men" and that's it?

Searching helps it move up in search results but downloading the free ebook would help even more.

It’s making headlines now!
404 media has the report.
That cover really does look like a great fit for #Monsterdon. Too bad that’s not a movie.

Come la #intelligenzaArtificiale influisce sulla formazione delle competenze. Studio svolto nell'ambito del programma #Anthropic Fellows
Lo studio analizza come l’IA influenzi l’apprendimento nel coding. Sebbene migliori la produttività immediata, l’uso passivo compromette la comprensione concettuale e le capacità di debugging. Risulta fondamentale un impegno cognitivo attivo per evitare l'erosione delle competenze tecniche.

Sono proprio curiosa di conoscere i risultati, sempre se si arriverà a capo di queste indagini.
Poi, WhatsApp si WhatsApp no è solo una questione di cultura digitale.

@Otttoz mi dispiace tantissimo! Purtroppo la sanità pubblica non fa nulla per gli animali domestici, non lo fa già per gli umani... figuriamoci! Alla gatta le hanno trovato una escrescenza alla narice sinistra, stiamo aspettando i risultati della biopsia, spero che la cura antibiotica elimini tutto altrimenti saremo costretti pure ad operarla!

#Macstodon now runs in the latest bleeding-edge build of the Snow emulator! And if you use Snow's built-in HTTPS stripping, then you don't have to configure WebOne or another proxy, just install Macstodon and start using it 😎
Thanks @twvd for the FPU fixes and all the other hard work you put into Snow! This is the kick-in-the-pants I need to get the next version of Macstodon out the door 🙂

@alvan that was @andypiper and I agree with your assessment.
