Man, this really isn’t the future I was picturing when I was growing up, but here we are.
The best kind of content for engagement is hate. You get users angrily defending both sides, stacks of comments, reposts (both in support of, and "OMG look at what they’re saying), the whole shebang.
Meta has learned that promotion of hate content pays off handsomely on those sweet sweet engagement metrics that shareholders love.
So of course they’re going to pay the hatemongers for content. Even when their own content policies ostensibly forbid it. Because that’s what makes line go up and they’ll do anything to keep that happening.
Oh that’s the actual headline lol.
I thought it would be like they paid some people with some ties to fascist groups but some plausible deniability…
But no. Full mask off.
There’s a greater entity that controls society that is beyond our political systems.
There will eventually be a purge of anyone that lacks a certain level of loyalty.
I wish there was a way I could articulate this without sounding crazy. Essentially look at gangstalking… There’s people telling the truth but the truth is purposely laced with controlled conspiracies to make the people that hold truths look crazy. Discernment of truth and conspiracy is key and it’s such a psychological mind fuck that even the people that are gangstalked get lost in it and eventually lose themselves.
This can’t be fixed by utilizing traditional methods our systems of politics are built upon. That’s not a call for action… But a call to understanding the gut wrenching reality of the situation. Because it seems like genuine authentic humanity is in checkmate.
In a way, it’s also kind of blatant if you look back at the past 10 years and how nothing seems to socially make sense in a natural organic human way. Like orchestrated social event planning to manipulate psychology to lead to a certain path. (Look into generations of warfare, specifically 5th and 6th iirc.) (*)
Something has humanity in the palms of its hands, and it’s completely detatched from any semblance of authentic natural law or “God”. …and like I said previously I believe it’s beyond what regular people perceive to be America, Democracy, and Government. It’s not simply about trump and the right, or the left anymore… That’s effectively a distraction. It also might be a transnational effort.
(*) Fifth-generation warfare (5GW) is characterized by non-kinetic military actions such as misinformation, cyberattacks, and social engineering, focusing on manipulating information and perceptions rather than traditional combat. It represents a shift in warfare where the battlefield is often virtual and the adversaries are not always clearly defined.
Sixth-generation warfare (6GW) is a contested idea that focuses on targeting an opponent’s cognition—perception, belief, and decision-making—rather than just territory or networks. It is described as using artificial intelligence and autonomous systems across multiple domains (land, sea, air, cyber, and space) along with “cognitive operations” and algorithmic decision-making.
…I could go on… One of the biggest things within our control right now might be ICE and datacenters. Tldr… Datacenters are for their surveillance and ICE isn’t just going to be used for immigration issues. It’s all there to see and it’s easy to see once you see past the bullshit marketed theater drama they push to pull your heart strings. Emotional people are easiest to control… That’s why they keep the left and right pissed off.
This was very well put. Thank you.
Facebook spent years claiming it couldn’t control what its platform amplified: Apparently it gets much easier when it’s time to write the checks.
“Such speech may be offensive to many, but it is not Meta’s role to police offensiveness” what???
I’m shocked! Shocked I tell you! Ok not even a tiny bit.

From the article:
Hate, unfortunately, sells. Right-wing extremism researcher Kaz Ross told ABC that Meta’s “financial model is to reward content creators who get engagement, and as we know, the best way of getting engagement is to produce rage bait, extremist material, aggravating material: anything that will get people upset and arguing is the best way to get engagement.”
It’s another example of how quickly Meta dropped its once-stricter content moderation policies when Donald Trump returned to the White House. Shortly before his second inauguration, Meta loosened its standards around hate speech, particularly on topics like gender identity and immigration, two of the far right’s favorite issues.
