Social media manipulation is an interesting topic. Very relevant to memo.

If a platform wants to curate trending topics that’s fine but it shouldn’t then pretend like those topics represent trending free & open dialogue.

Ignoring what is actually trending is hurting SV companies (eg YT rewind was most disliked video ever, Netflix ignoring their algorithms).

Never meet you before but respect you anyways, Last thing I want to do is fall out with a fellow BCH P2P advocate.

ditto, crazy how many perspectives are represented in the memo community. Everyone loves BCH but thats about all we can all agree on, lol

The best thing about this is that it shows that Bitcoin appeals to a wide variety of people. It can not be dismissed as only for libertarians, or drug dealers.

He gave good reason why they found simply using a counting method wasn't a good idea. I find they have good reasons for changing things, but do not always execute changes well.
replied 2261d
well it's kind of a silly metric anyway. Like, I really just care about what my friends (a curated list) are talking about. why would I care if all Brazilian beliebers are tweeting now

devil's advocate: If I pay $1M for a message to be sent out through a platform is that fake/manipulation? It cost real money that could be spend elsewhere.

If I care enough about something to post about it every morning is that fake or manipulation?

The funny thing is how even they say it's hard to tell, and they can get it wrong sometimes. I wouldn't doubt though, like conspiracy theories, the first person to tell it knows its...

... fake and then those who belive spread it thinking they are raising awareness. Which they shouldn't be stopped from. It's bad go censor someone for being wrong as should be obvious

yeah, I'd hope the public is evolving to better spot lies & fake stories & fake trends but it seems anecdotally that the opposite is happening...🤔
