"Smart" and "educated" people are the easiest to fool[0]. [0]: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SbwWL5ezA4g

“Why you fool, it's the educated reader who CAN be gulled. All our difficulty comes with the others. When did you meet a workman who believes the papers? He takes it for granted that they're all propaganda and skips the leading articles. He buys his paper for the football results and the little paragraphs about girls falling out of windows and corpses found in Mayfair flats. He is our problem. We have to recondition…

A fun hypothetical, but how smart do you think the average Q anon believer is? Reality isn’t as nice on the ears as the fantasy of a poet is.

What censorship you are talking about people? Russia sponsored trolls enjoy full freedom of expression on this platform even to bully,make fake accounts, threat, insult and delete comments that trying to argue with their lies and deliver the truth. If they disturb to russian aggressive propaganda machine and not overwhelmed by it then those comments are disappearing without any explanation/notification. If that is no…

Is there any hard evidence for this bogeyman that gets regularly used as apologia? Or is this Pizzagate for folks on the left of the political spectrum?

More troll posts... I guess people haven't seen your username enough yet to realize what your game is, so on behalf of those who haven't picked up on it: The reason YouTube has no competitor yet is because you'd need $10 billion just to get the platform off the ground - that's servers, developers, datacenters, peering agreements, etc. Very few people have $10 billion lying around, and no one is interested in tackling…

You wouldn't need anywhere near that to launch a comparable competitor, unless the plan is to be at youtube scale on day one, which of course would not be realistic.

At the moment, in Silicon Valley, if you're not first, you're last.

Q anon believers are at most are a tiny proportion of who is described by that. Judging an entire population by the worst few of them that you can think of, is questionable.

Also, you don't really know the distribution of where these 'believers' came from.

Here[1] is the video. At the time of me writing this comment, the ratio is 53 likes to 15,486 dislikes. [1]: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xDcvPf78g1k

> the ratio is 53 likes to 15,486 dislikes. Don't worry, Youtube has already proposed to hide dislikes numbers. That would be a good place to start. Edit: wow, 3 comments saying the exact same thing and all 3 starting with "don't worry". Interesting.

Maybe we’re all just rage hungry automatons.
