Fake leaks are usually harmful for everyone involved but here, they might actually be doing good. Some Twitter users are using fake PS5 leaks (among other gaming topics) as a hook before actually suggesting donation links to #BlackLivesMatter and other similar organizations.
Fake leaks are usually bad for all involved, but not this time. A few Twitter users have been using purposely spicy, false gaming leaks to get users in before revealing that these “leaks” are actually a cavalcade of donation links instead. Some of these “leaks” have been using a Bloodborne PC version or the PS5 as “cover.”
Twitter user bestpaulwatson was the first to start this on the gaming side of Twitter. He used Sony’s postponed PS5 stream as a means to get people in, even throwing in a capitalized “MAJOR” in the tweet for good measure.
