oh my god I went back to FB a few months ago just to see how bad it is.
So the algorithm is real good at picking up on what you like, and it'll do that quickly, but slowly the propaganda starts seeping in.
For example, I like Taylor Swift. Don't hide that here or there. So, she starts popping up. At first fun fan pages.
Then, all of a sudden I get a weird one, that she's actually conservative. Check a few days later, I see another, she's endorsing trump. (Definitiely did not).
And now, without even interacting with the posts, half of them are conservative focused propaganda. It's all 100% BS of course, it's just AI generated images and text, but holy fuck do those morons eat it up. Not just Swift, but everything there is 100% a propaganda machine. They 100% lure you in with things you like, then they turn up the rage after a bit to keep you engaged and stuck there.
Place is a cesspool. Stay away from FB. Remember, family doesn't let family stay on FB.
Twitter is also turning into the same thing.
It tracks literally everything you do online, regardless of any precautions you take, including not even having an account. But it's not good at determining what you like, or it would have taken the hint the first 20 times I told it that I don't want to see pictures of Sylvester Stalone and his family. What I like is seeing posts from my friends and family, but it'll show me literally anything except for that. BYE!
The Taylor Swift for Trump campaign is insane. I don't get how people are falling for it. On one hand the ai images are very obvious and on the other in no world would Taylor Swift ever support trump.
It's easy, if your worldview means accepting that is easier than accepting reality then your brain of course convinces you that it's real
