Looks like someone is copying the contents of news articles from various sites, but there is no attribution or anything to tell you where it is from. Searching for the title I found the Time article they copied.
Ok, cool. Usually those are attached to random sales fronts to boost SEO or something like that. Odd that this one is just blog spamming into the void and getting boosted here, of all places.
It doesn’t seem harmful, but I don’t understand the motivation behind it yet.
Could be a reputation bot here on Lemmy, maybe. That makes sense on Reddit where there is visible karma, but here?
wtf even is this crazy source?

I would treat them with suspicion though. Not sure if they would start sneaking some other stuff in there in a few weeks or months.
Thanks for the backtrack— yes, this seems fishy, which is why I immediately called it out.
Even after your attempts, it still stinks
Dunno. Something-something The Freedom Project.
This page (hxxps://freebird-bg0.pages.dev/) is just a generic Hello World page, so that is weird. The title link is just hxxps://orion.pages.dev/
Imma dig deeper and see if I can find anything. First guess is it’s just an AI bot?
It’s blogspam of this:

That’s what the page has on it right now, that could very easily change to include ads, malware, whatever.
Note that OP has made several posts, all to this same domain. Time to block.
I concur, doctor. I’ll report all its posts as well.
Source from a respectable news source, or don’t post.
I’m down with that logic, but the bot is just going to keep doing its botty things.
So… pretty shameless to blame a bot, dude. Do they not not even have the googles in shitbirdland?
C’mon. At least put some effort into it.
