MODERATORS
People's lizard brains will tend to favor the person on the right. Because their arguments are simple, spoken with confidence and often louder. Our primitive instincts interpret that as 'correct' because it comes off as strong. The person on the left looks weak and full of excuses.
People aren't biologically capable of handling modern propaganda well.
Confident bullshit wins over long-winded but factually correct explanations.
Incidentally, same reason chatgpt became so popular - it's optimized for sounding confident over being correct.
Not the reason. It is an attribute it has, but the reason it's popular is it's ability to quickly summarize data rather than having to dig through many sources.
And it does that often wrong but always confident.
