    I’m starting to dislike the word “leaks” being used in place of “advertised” almost as much as I despise seeing the word “slams” in headlines

      It’s how copros talk now, they saw “Leaks” are spicier than “Reveals”

      It’s just what they do, they co-opt our langauge and misuse it. Plenty of restaurants around here claiming their cheap menu items are “Hunger Hacks”

      When no they aren’t, as a hack would be a manipulation of loopholes to get a result not intended by the person who made the rules, a cheap item menu clearly listed is not a hack.
