"Look, I made a really exciting controversial discovery! It's really emotional and intriguing! You're missing out! Only smart rich people can read it! Put your money in the basket please :)" Our education system is dead the the populace is too stupid to care.

it's so easy to create these types of accounts and flood them with low-effort AI slop that blocking one or two accounts never did it for me. regardless of the platform (tiktok, facebook, instagram, any other social media, including some of your revered FOSS platforms) it's easy to bypass humanity filters with very little effort and fill the account with garbage. all of these platforms behave the same way: if outside accounts engage with it, it becomes more valuable. that's why there are so many of these, and why "just banning" a few of them won't solve it

  1. create account
  2. use AI or automated process to post tons of slop videos
  3. stupid people like, comment or share the video
  4. account's engagement goes up
  5. now transition it into advertising
  6. sell it to a company. "Look, this account has 100k followers. How's $10,000 sound?"
