    Something nobody talks about is how the internet transformed into a whole other beast around 2015 to 2016. Nobody talks about it because all the bots (used loosely to mean bad actors of human or otherwise) control discourse. It’s masses of undefineable swarms of bot posting at any give moment in any given part of the internet.

        If you ask someone if the Internet is full of bots they will tell you yes. However 5 minutes later they will be on social media and forget about it.

        It’s impossible to think critically all the time.
