Quite irrelevant here.

Post is about someone going to home depot. most people are not reading the privacy policy for the shops they go to. I do. I make others aware.

Not sure how a comment about the store the post is about isnt relevant.

Post is about someone going to home depot

Post is SO NOT about going to home depot. Not even close. The exact same post would have achieved the same goal with any other name. Have you even glanced at the picture?

its about ed nasir the ancient scam artist of copper.

title says home depot. relevant. if they had said hardware store, then you would be correct there would be no reason to have posted the comment.
