Just a bunch of autonomous, non-thinking algorithms in data centers scattered across the country farming for rage bait/clicks. It’s all propped up by unthinkable amounts of capital which drops people’s consciousness in to one liberal bucket to craft a reality which makes them the most bigoted humans on earth. Incredible work

The internet is such a fucking dead end

    I'm sorry, even billions of dollars of billionaire blood money should not be enough to make these dweebs popular

      They arguably are not. There is still no consistent method of figuring out if subscribers are bots or not, and with billions at their disposal I don't see why they would leave it off the table. Even smaller creators do it, I see no reason the literal consent manufacturing machine wouldn't. I've for my money only ever met two Ben Shapiro listeners, while I know a shit ton of people who listen to Joe Rogan, and it makes me really think about perception of reality v.s. reality.
