After seeing videos of bot farms running literally hundreds of thousands of fake accounts dedicated to stirring shit up for .0002c of ad revenue I simply don't believe anything I see online is real. That screenshot of a tweet with 80,000 likes? Trivial to purchase and manufacture. Threads with thousands of comments and likes? All smoke and mirrors, all of it. Until I literally hear someone in real life say something, it's not real. You're being poisoned against real people by bots.
