Anyone have a screenshot of the praying hands emojis part of this oh so adult convo?

Here is the screenshot cropped from my phone. As if I hadn't already "researched elsewhere" and found only "not possible" answers. And are we to believe that reddit takes offense at the observation that some ads are sleazy? Srsly? #socalledmoderation #pollyanna

Welp, guess we won't find any answers that way. Strictly profit? Profit plus disinclination to deal with lawyers over ads being restricted?
The post was "removed" so fast that if it was dropped food it wouldn't even have hit the floor. #reddit #askReddit #socalledmoderation #bots

I'm sorry I don't provide alt text often enough. Not that it's any consolation, but often I don't post an image because I don't want to post it without alt text. Anyway, This is real, I just took this screensnip myself, and WTF #NATGEO ?? What is a SPEACIAL ?? #NationalGeographic #Speacial
Screenshot of the top left section of the landing page of the National Geographic Website. Black Background, white and yellow text, part of a magazine issue with butterflies on the cover visible to the right side. URL nationalgeographic dot com visible on top. Prominent white and yellow text proclaims: "LEAP YEAR SPEACIAL [sic] Get a FREE BONUS ISSUE when you subscribe" above a yellow rectangle with "SUBSCRIBE"" in black in the middle of it.

Shout-out to the many artisans selling work on Etsy & elsewhere who have always photographed each OOAK item.
Do you buy ooak organic lapidary items sight unseen from stock photos? In this case it could even be argued I received a "second," as the finish was irregular, unlike the photo.
Two messages, the first a partial/conclusion, date not shown; the second dated October 19. First message: "Perhaps consider adding "item shown is a stock photo -- you will be receiving an almost identical custom piece," or words to that effect." Second message: "I’ve been in business for over five years, and taking thousands of individual photographs would be impossible. Moreover, your consideration of my handwork is unreasonable. It’s beautiful! Please shop elsewhere in the future. I don’t want your business."

September in New York means harvest time, yes, and garden reorganization, yes, and starting to re-pot and/or re-home tender perennials. For example, this lovely but very spiny #Naranjilla #Solanumquitonense
Potted plant with large leaves, outdoors, with background including weeds and/or vines, weathered logs, part of an upturned garden cart. Potted plant has a center stalk with large leaves growing each on its own stem. Leaves are shaped like holly leaves, have reddish midribs, and entire plant is covered with prickles barely visible if you zoom in.

Summer is winding down here in New York State. This year's #daturaexperiment got off to a late start but was looking good today between the rain showers. 🌱
A plant with dark purple stems, green leaves, some with spots, and a downward -slanting purple trumpet-shaped flower. Various greenery in background, especially a spray of thin, pointed leaves on the left. A bunch of different plants, mostly green and growing into each other. On the left side some standing brown stalks tied together with string. Sort of in the center of the picture a white trumpet shaped flower somewhat out 9f focus looking into the mouth of the flower. To the right of the flower a red hose like thing drizzles water into a black plastic container. close-up of a couple yellow flowers, double-ruffled may be one way to describe their fluted trumpet shape. Around them are green leaves and glimpses of more yellow blossoms.
