The Impact of Corporate Trolls on Reddit: A Growing Problem
The rise of social media has brought about a new battleground for the spread of misinformation, manipulation of public opinion, and promotion of products and services. Reddit, one of the most popular social media platforms, has not been immune to this phenomenon.
Two significant studies, the Pew Research Center study conducted in 2018 and the Computers in Human Behavior study published in 2020, have shed light on the prevalence and impact of corporate trolls on Reddit.
People won't stop saying this until it stops being true
yeah that's not what it's for, it's for finding groups of nerds bickering over shit and parsing through the argument to determine which position is more likely to be correct
Also "finding information" doesn't mean literally "scientific information," I'm not going to find some scientific study on some bullshit related to Jojo's Bizarre Adventure or whatever
Word. I can't figure out how to get google to do anything sometimes. It just keeps returning the same handful of links no matter how i structure search queries. And that's if it doesn't "autocorrect" my query. Like it works, but sometimes it flat doesn't.
yeah im not gonna look for bra advice in a scientific journal, lol
Are we not good enough for advice, bra?
Agreed, I find this method especially helpful if something is going on with my pets. If you just google it or use any of the other big search engines you will get identical articles telling you that they will die and take them to the vet immediately. Answers on reddit are generally pretty good about letting you know what kinds of things like that are serious because usually at least a couple people have experienced the same exact thing.
