More Glitches in the ATS Matrix

[l0st]

The invasion of political propaganda and fear pushers is what made the place toxic. It was so bad that at any hour of they day I could get them spout off the canned socialist narratives that it almost felt like AI bots. That's a level of propaganda pushing that should have given pause to anyone conspiracy minded individual regardless of political leaning.

They're using AI bots in conjunction with "persona management" software which allows a single user to keep track of numerous sock accounts simultaneously. What you are seeing is a combination of what the AI has posted and when the AI gets "stuck" a real human steps in on the persona to additionally "concensus manage" their opponent in the thread. You'll know it's them because if you really pin them down on something they always stop responding and abandon the thread. Their talking points are inorganic and repetitive. They also use every method in the trolling playbook - concern trolling, gish galloping, projection(this is one of their favorites - accuse the opponent of what you are doing to try to force them into a defensive position), not directly answering questions or answering tangential questions that seem in conversation to be an answer but in fact answer nothing, wrap-up smears, ad-hominem attacks, character assassinations, repeated attempts to pivot a topic onto a less "sensitive" subject, etc.

I think your statement dovetails nicely into what I said previously - no question this was an "invasion" or coordinated attack on CT sites. Demonetization through ad revenue, delisting from public directories on the basis of "misinformation", summary cancellation of merchant accounts over "content violations", paying off of owners/mods, flooding of sites with propaganda bots and paid/volunteer "concensus managers", systematic banning/shadow banning of those who poke holes in obviously fake stories, fake news, removal of propaganda laws during the Obama administration, direct government intervention in the posting of content submitted by private citizens, and the list goes on.

All of that was happening on ATS and mysteriously, the ownership didn't step in to stop it, even with declining revenue, then the site was "sold" to parties with an obvious agenda to derail the site.

Hmmmmmm where there's smoke, there's fire. Some people were obviously paid to make this all happen, that's for sure.
