    Facebook, but also and really actually reddit.

    thedonald was a pipeline for converting disenfranchised white males into white nationalists and was super effective.

      I’d blame Facebook more than Reddit, but really a lot of the blame lies with 8chan(kun) and the Qanon BS. Of course, this Q bs festered and spread on Facebook.

      And, of course, at the time Twitter was Trump’s main bull horn, so that was a major driver as well.

      By the time Jan 6 happened, TheDonald was long gone from Reddit.

        The_Donald was banned but its community of festering pustules was not at all gone from Reddit- they are all still there and some even here.

        I’m not discounting those locations 💯, but the MAGA cult movement 100% had it’s origins on Reddit in a turf war between progressives and the alt right. I was there. I watched the entire thing happen, how it folded, when the bots appeared, and on and on.

    This is gonna be such a bad movie, walk and talks about algorithms that make no sense at all, and every time a woman speaks she is mansplained to dust for the audacity to dare to talk to a man.

    TL;DR he blames Facebook because the algorithm promotes that crap.

    Why is this in the art community? Ok, I guess movies are art, but this feels like a stretch. This is news, politics, etc.

      I just kinda decided to make my own rules because this community doesn’t have any, but film is definitely an art form. As someone who has read over a century’s worth of film theory, it’s as legit as any other visual medium

    Can he find some glasses that fit his head? That can’t feel comfortable, I have had small glasses and dealt with them for a year until I was due for new ones, never again.
