Once again, the aggregated (e.g. rewritten) story gets shared.

The original story, with original reporting, is here on the Daily Dot.

I never understand why people don't reward the original hard work. If you appreciate real reporting, reward it.

I'm sure that usually, they have no idea what the "real" story is or how to find it.

If everyone flagged blogspam when they saw it, blogspam would disappear.

Because of your comment I flagged the blogspam.

Not everybody can flag. I lost my ability to flag about a year ago (not sure why).

Funny that after more than a week this linkbait story hits HN. Original or not ;) In fact those views happened and are still there: They were just tranfered to the Vevo channel. Read more at http://www.billboard.biz/bbbiz/industry/digital-and-mobile/w...
