Gregory's Server@avlcharlie @nixCraft these are also used to spread massive amounts of disinformation and as a tool to mass report accounts that go against a certain narrative. That way they can influence elections, create public outrage and hysteria, amplify conspiracy theories of the dumbest sort and create noise to drown out reason and facts.

 @avlcharlie @nixCraft crowd psychology is a different beast. "A person is smart. People are dumb." To quote Tommy Lee Jones from Men In Black @gabriel @avlcharlie @nixCraft Question is: would the "political branch" work without the economic branch? Just the pure scale of the economic part makes this comparatively cheap. If advertisers wouldn't push billions into this industry, the costs for government actors would be much higher. |
