There’s probably some truth to this, but it also leans into the “MSM is lying to you” narrative that’s pervasive in far right (and far left) circles. A production with [the appearance of] a low budget is associated with “genuineness” by most people. You can’t be paid off by the big corpos if you’re doing it out of the goodness of your heart…or so the reasoning goes.

Judging from the comments, this is truly an unpopular opinion. I wonder why it’s got so many downvotes … It is what it says on the tin.

Turf grass only looks green; it’s usually more ecologically damaging than pavement.

You’re right that it seems trolling is “weaponized” now. However, I (optimistically) don’t want to (cynically) admit weaponized trolling is the rule instead of the exception.

Admittedly blocking isn’t directly effective, but it could be if it generally gets people to stop feeding trolls, thus cutting off reward feedback loops for bad actors.

Just a thought.

Considering that I made a comment pointing out the futility of trying to make good-faith arguments within this environment and a mod removed it, I think this is a relevant quotation. Thanks!
