A World of Warcraft subreddit started the trend, making up Glorbo stories to bait AI sites into reporting on the lie. Destiny 2 fans are now joining Glorbo.
Just a short while ago, “glorbo” meant nothing; it was just a silly word. Now, the name is spreading across gaming spheres, becoming a phenomenon. Destiny 2 players are the latest players to exploit the power of Glorbo, and even Bungie is getting in on the act.
World of Warcraft fans, noticing the trend of AI-driven websites scraping popular topics off social media, set a cunning trap. One player wrote a post about “Glorbo,” praising the upcoming feature. Of course, there is no such feature as a Glorbo; it was bait. Sure enough, an outlet called The Portal, published by ZLeague, wrote an article about how much fans love Glorbo, and a meme was born.
