who even unleashes these bots
whats the point
do the chinese communist party think the english speaking world gives a solitary fuck?

IMO its about search engine algorithm finesse. pump out a few hundred tweets with someone's name vilifying them, and then some schmuck comes across the name in an article and thinks who is that, googles it, and finds out they're a villain from tweets.

The algos are also setup to probably pick and further reinforce what's 'trending' depending on mentions/number of accounts talking about it, so then the loudness of the message is further amplified and highlighted. I noticed this on twitter regularly. I follow accounts talking about Ukraine war on twitter and literally every other day on my 'trending' section it's a bunch of 'Russia is collapsing', 'Putin is done', 'Kursk' etc. It's not that i even follow these NAFO copy/paste accounts but based on some algo, they are most numerous so their message is amplified.

yup ive scrolled threads a lot when bored and always get a laugh out of what swifties have to say, now my algo thinks im a diehard swifty. same with me reading delusional leftist electoral predictions like TEXAS IS GOING BLUE. i get 100 of those posts in a row with very little to break it up.

The point is to taint and saturate public shared datasets with propaganda BS in hopes the next generation of AI like ChatBot is trained on said data.

hehe
