WaPo: Twitter has false users designed to undermine the political process by spreading manufactured outrage!!! We’re shocked! Shocked! There’s gambling going on in here!
This is why I hate Twitter and Facebook. Their algorithms are designed to promote posts that cause political division.
Any service where you viewing ads is the actual product is the same.

I never watch them and am confused why they keep sending them my way. The stuff being foisted on people is just toxic.

There had to be signs before it got this far…had to be. Any word yet on who (or what group) was behind the account? This is like that “liberal leaning” TikTok account that was exposed as being faked. I’m very careful of quoting or up voting any emotionally charged hot-takes on things, especially when I agree with them. It’s hard to tell when people are acting in good faith these days.
There were - how over the top the account was. That birbsite account was the equivalent of a stalking horse in a political campaign - somebody who pretends to be on the same side as a candidate but is so far out there that they make the real candidate look bad.
