See my post on Reddit’s April fools bot farm from several years ago. They let all users participate in a “game” where they had to choose which comment was human generated and which was not. After a day it was impossible to tell. Then the game ended. An obvious ploy to built their internal bots.
So you’re telling me that the a brand-licensed, shelf stable, box of dried noodles and cheap cheddar cheese meant to emulate a fluorescent orange msg flavored cheese crunch has a long list of gasp artificial ingredients?!?!
Shocker!
They’re killing two birds with one stone- perpetuating nuclear fear mongering yes - but perhaps more importantly, perpetuating the lie that Zelensky has Putin in retreat. This will ensure that there is more death, more destruction, and a longer war ahead of us as zelensky and the global citizen types fail to advocate for any Ukrainian concessions due to thinking “victory is near”.
I seem to be one of the few who remembers a couple years back when Reddit did one of their April Fools interactive games and the whole point of the game was to guess whether a comment was human generated or bot generated.
They made it seem like a game by challenging you to get 5 in a row or something like that.
They, in effect, had tens of millions of users pass/fail training AI to write comments that were impossible to discern from human comments.
Given the number of communities they have shut down on that site, the amount of banning/muting that goes on, and the restrictions for mobile users that don’t have the Reddit app on their phones… one has to assume their user base has taken a dive.
I’m guessing at least 50% of the comments and accounts supporting the narrative on Reddit are bots that they have created themselves. It’s possible, so it is most likely the case. They have a direct financial incentive to do so.
Wow... I started using reddit in 2011 or so when I was in high school. At that point used it for memes and r/nosleep. I'm sure I occasionally read r/conspiracies as well. All that was years before I followed any politics or had my antennas up for propaganda. I thought the most shocking parts of united states history and coverups were behind us... MK Ultra, JFK, 9/11, etc. Never would have imagined I would live to experience the weirdness and nonsense of this pandemic! What a time to be alive. Amazing to get your perspective on how things have escalated over the years, prior to when I started paying attention during the 2016 elections. I do hope you revisit TT Brown. I had never heard of him. Immediately brings to mind the tic tac ufo. fascinating.
Incoherent ramblings…
