I feel like most of the internet is being used as a psy-op on the populace.

Yep, I thoroughly agree.
Case in point: I have a throwaway Fb and apparently my clicks have beckoned the algo to push AI-written ragebait stories and intentionally dirty looking pics of what I’m sure are fake trans people.
Thing is, they’re intermixed with seemingly genuine trans person posts (over time). But the tells are there.
Almost every fake one is a “digital creator” with links off site. No doubt they’re fueled by foreign or domestic bot farms of some kind.
As to audience effectiveness, these posts simultaneously breed gentle support from our more accepting brethren but are just “icky and insane” enough to further piss off maga. It’s super effective in promoting engagement and creating the illusion of “trans are everywhere” with over-saturation.
I know I fed the algo in this case, but manufactured bullshit is everywhere. Just wish there were effective strategies to combat it.
