People don't, just chronically online people who have 0 social interaction with anyone or anything outside of posts. The goal is to turn everyone into that.
all the reddit bots are funded by american intelligence
I always have to wonder at that. There's so much money in clout chasing, you'll see accounts just latch on to whatever the current internet hotness is and spam any old thing to climb the social media chain. Like, you don't need to be part of the American Intelligence apparatus to do Epic Krassenstein Posting. You just need that Alex Jones mindset.
Is every clout-chaser an intelligence asset? Or have we just created a system that heavily funds this kind of sycophantic behavior?
I'm not the brightest or most well connected of people but I think it's impossible to tell without some serious connections and skills. Intelligence money gets distributed from company to company as purchases/sales for services. In an age where so many businesses dress up the use for their service/product in MBA lingo, it's probably very easy to look like an innocuous company to the outside world when what you're really doing is using data you purchased from reddit to map out ideological trends and see if you can influence those trends with some tool you've developed.
The proliferation of non disclosure agreements being forced on workers in the high income business world makes it even more difficult to tell. you will have your house foreclosed upon if you release info on sketchy shit your employer is doing.
Is every clout-chaser an intelligence asset?
that's the question that makes me take my tin foil hat off, because my answer is no. There are a lot of useful idiots out there. And if we're being honest, there's no shortage of them on 'the left.' There are western MLs out there who repeat pro-Chinese ideas that even the Chinese state would think is too optimistic and bullshit for Chinese workers to buy into. Yet they make good money while doing it.
ive become like the russiagate liberals except I think all the reddit bots are funded by american intelligence.
i refuse to believe real people think like this.
