That is not what I am doing.

One of the tactics employed by TPTB is to suppress content they do not like by copying it onto a throwaway account and then sending shills out to repost screenshots of the copies, often adulterated to make it difficult to find the original. The metaphor they use when employing this strategy is "Don't give it oxygen."

Not only is the creator is deprived of view and page hits directly, thereby making it less likely to appear as recommended or in search results, but the abilities to like, share/retweet, subscribe/follow/friend and comment all vanish when they use this method to suppress things. That things are the fuel that powers effective social media, and that's what these creeps are working so hard to eliminate.

When you choke off the oxygen like that, the people who work hard to create the things that TPTB want to suppress will give up because it appears to them that their work is having less of an impact than it actually is. It is a backdoor means of demonetizing them, effectively pirating their content so that it does not go viral.

That method of suppression also makes it difficult for the conspiracy community and researchers by stripping away the ability to copy and paste text for sharing and search engines. It also eliminates the hyperlinks that are in the original material that help us find more information on a topic. If a source that is censored by search engines is obfuscated, that can be a dead end for us.

I want people who make good things for us to know that their work has been seen and is appreciated so that they can create more. I want to be able to find out where to see what they create in the future. I am willing to spend a little time to help the community do that.

Regarding news items, the shills not only do what I listed above, but also give it a false title which makes searching for the article in this forum impossible. That means that nobody can research what the commenters here have written about the story, including links to more and better information and context, which is sometimes crucial.

Another terrible thing they do to the news items, and possibly the most damaging of all, is that the titles they choose are a mess of misdirection, bad takes and spin that infect our own thinking on the matter if we aren't careful. This is because of a cognitive bias called the anchoring effect:

Anchoring effect https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anchoring_effect

The anchoring bias, or focalism, is the tendency to rely too heavily—to "anchor"—on one trait or piece of information when making decisions (usually the first piece of information acquired on that subject).

I would rather be presented with a link to a news article with the correct title and judge it for myself. Posting the link for everybody else's benefit doesn't take that much time.
