Comment on Am I ugly?

  ...but when you click those links in google reverse image search, they show completely different people. Except the one posted an hour ago. I have no idea what is going on here, just seems weird to me.

      Over on Reddit, people posting pictures of some good looking person and asking "am I ugly" is a pretty common way of farming karma.

      Reverse image search is a way to find where pictures have been posted before on Google. Here's the search for your image. It appears Google and Reddit has gotten bad to the point where they say your picture was posted 7 years ago, even though this would appear to be false.

      Combine the two, and there's a perfect storm where people assume you're some 50 year old guy with a weird kink. Sorry about that.

  I took this photo a few days ago, it’s impossible to have been 7 years old. Someone is likely stealing my picture and hacking or something. Idk I’m not much of a tech user.🤷‍♀️

  are there actually this old posts?

  this seems like google + reddit being a shitty combination. i’m seeing fewer results but the two results i get that are 7 years old are just links to the subreddit, not to posts, which is likely throwing off the date on there.

  other reverse image searches like tineye don’t show any prior images, so it’s very likely that you’re just fooled by misleading search results.

  unless you can produce links or other evidence about actual 7 year old content please correct your comment.

  I have already commented the same on the other post.
