    The thing about giving everyone a megaphone, is that even when some use them to shout insane bullshit, if enough people hear it, there is inevitably a percentage who will think “yea that makes sense”.

    And now, we’ve got selective megaphones. Social media algoritms that curate our feeds for us so that people shouting insane bullshit have their content fed directly to people who believe insane bullshit. Separating the people who lie and their believers, from the people who call them out on it and bring actual logic into the discussion.

    Algoritms discourage thinking because thinking takes effort, and effort tires you out. Tiring you out would eventualmy make you log off and take a break, but algos are trained to maximize screentime, so no thinking it is.

      Even if what he’s saying makes sense he sounds and looks like a try-hard dweeb with no skills beyond flapping his gums.

      Andrew Tate, a “manosphere” incel who trafficked women. He gained a large following by calling people cucks, incels, loser feminists, etc. while always being the alpha male with money and women. He’s currently stuck in Romania while human trafficking charges go through the legal system.

    People see charisma as authority, they could geneside 7 million people, but people would trust them
