      ITT people who didn’t click on the article and understand that this was produced as a humourous way of promoting the campaign against overtourism, which is a significant issue in the Balearics.

          Sarcasm missed.

          Lack of critical reading strikes again. I’ll edit with the /s

            Well, you also assume people know what “/s” is… I never used Reddit, but I suppose this is something common on Reddit users? idk

                You’d be surprised. I thought someone was being sarcastic when they were talking about the “shamdemic,” only to find out no, they were completely serious. There are people on here who would say that in all seriousness.

                    I still don’t understand why you need to be sarcastic… what’s the point?
