Yes, especially on social networks, most are bots, for RT and favs, or produced in farms of fake accounts with fake photos.
Concileo, a company I worked with in IT does recruits on campus to fake opinions and flood forums with all kind of woke, SJW bullshit. It is supposed to be a moderation company.
The goal of iot is propaganda.
When someone adds you on FB acts friendly, start telling you normies this or that is problematic, that's their goal.
AI is dumb, programmed logic. Bunch of databases and a botnet will create outrage.
I dox people. I doxed many of those fake accounts from cities I checked. Address etc. Nothing, I even encountered office buildings or demolished places, or apartments without a trace
This is more of a /cyb/ topic, but certainly interesting. I don't find it that hard to believe, especially with social media which is documented to be incredibly astroturfed.
>Dead Internet Theory>AI>CorporationsSorry, to be a stick in the mud but I don't believein this. I think the explanation is simple. There are more npcs on the internet now, therefore it's as sterile as public relations is in real life.
And while bots are probably utilized for corporations to inflate things in a similar vein as review bombing their own products and so on I genuinely believe it's just that normal people [read: women] are that, I lack a good word for it, but kills genuine discussion essentially.

>>153060Part of the issue is user error, other part is (((malicious))) behaviors, and another is series of events.
Knowing the structure and how and why it works means where the things are and how to reach it if possible effectively makes it a more mundane problem. DNS servers cost money, and search engines, and servers and sites and storage. Money (payments and taxes) and effort to safeguard what is there from the multitude of bullshit.
Lot of people conflate bots and scripts with AI (or General Artificial Intelligence, being at least a close peer mentally or better). That said the potential for an AI and not just a neural network to arise or be created is possible.
What also occurs is lack of effort to keep certain things in the forefront and also a push for certain ones to be made readily available.
Other part is the vast majority of people.
Another part is the phenomena of two or more people coming up with the same idea across the world without any contact.
One more part is physical hostile forces, shills, psy-ops, glowniggers, ect.
The other part is the brainwashed (slightly different than NPCs but not much).
Then we get into the paranormal supernatural spirits and entities that exist in 'the 'net'.

Phillip Farber -- late as usual...
The participants in the TIAMAT list created a "psychosphere" working back in 1994 (two years before the copyright date on this posting.) In fact the effects were astounding.
The idea was simply to summon and then "banish" whatever Internet "demons" were in existence. As there was no research on the nature of such demons available, it was a rather open ended experiment.
It was devised by myself and Ashton (whom some old hands here might remember) and based on a banishing rite out of Simon's Necronomicon.
Particpants were "stationed" around the globe: western US, Australia, Greece, England, eastern US and central US as I recall. In this way we sent an incantation "around" the earth seven times: each "relay station" forwarded the incantation to the next, adding a line of the spell in the process. Each station also forwarded each portion to a randomly chosen Usenet group.
As the spell neared completion, the Internet suffered serious "breakdowns", including a crash of the main ISP service in Australia and a massive -- and still unexplained -- power failure in Califronia that knocked out both the UC Berkeley-based UUCP backbone AND the Netcom ISP. It also caused my ISP service, who's Sysop happened to monitor what we were doing one evening, to pull my service account for "abuse of the service contract." (I got another account and continued the working...)
We theorized that our working "disturbed" the demons of the Internet and they reacted like any other entity that is being slowly tortured to death -- violently trying to stop us from what we were doing.
If anyone can find Ashton these days, he archived the postings and a synopsis of the results.
I suppose I'm somewhat dismissive of Mr. Farber and his published works, but everything I've read by him has been disappointing. His "Future Magick" was touted unendingly in Usenet postings and upon reading it it turns out to be nothing more than that same old Thelemic/Hermetic rituals and paradigms given a few fancy new labels. Not that the article posted by Aloas doesn't have a few useful ideas...
...but it's been done!

You're are right and I'm fine with the idea.
Would the MOD move this bread to /cyb/?
What a strange idea. But one that,to me at least. Has a large amount of merit. The internet does feel very empty, very corporatitized.
>>1400>What a strange idea.Actually it is a fact. The results are clipped and curated to cater the normieville crowd.
>>1401Here an example from Metapedia, the supposedly right-wing competition of the bolshevik Wikipedia.
In 2019 there was plenty of information about Dr. Pierce with hundreds of links to many thousands URLs, no kidding.
In November 2021, that information has been clipped to just no more than half a dozen, just to keep appearances.
The nose has attacked again.
Pics 1 and 2 shows a partial sample of what Metapedia was; pic 3 shows the only info offered today.

>>3326>to get rid of corona and schizo bullshitWords cannot describe how much the 2019-2021 era damaged the internet. On top of all of the pozzed ZOG propaganda pervasive everywhere, the few places you can escape it have become full of retards posting utter nonsense.
