Remember when Elon said he'd "open source the algorithm"? Then he released a selection of arbitrary source code files mostly consisting of enums that tell us basically nothing about ranking, cut off access to APIs that researchers could use to study the site, and suddenly Republicans and alt-right content started showing up in everyone's timeline...

I have a suspicion, that the actual algorithm's code's comments are filled with slurs of all kind.

I mean it might have something to do with the fact that the average congressional democrat isn't saying batshit insane things that get turned into an entire article by every blogger on the net.

Well, nothing suspicious about that graph at all.

Does it really matter if 90% of the "views" are just bots?

[-] brucethemoose@lemmy.world 5 points 1 day ago

As long as the bots click on the ads?

Nope.

I love this timeline that starts at the exodus and goes through the enshittification.

For those that have had enough of the Elon Musk worship online.

No flaming, baiting, etc. This community is intended for those opposed to the influx of Elon Musk-related advertising online. Coming here to defend Musk or his companies will not get you banned, but it likely will result in downvotes. Please use the reporting feature if you see a rule violation.

Opinions from all sides of the political spectrum are welcome here. However, we kindly ask that off-topic political discussion be kept to a minimum, so as to focus on the goal of this sub. This community is minimally moderated, so discussion and the power of upvotes/downvotes are allowed, provided lemmy.world rules are not broken.

Post links to instances of obvious Elon Musk fanboy brigading in default subreddits, lemmy/kbin communities/instances, astroturfing from Tesla/SpaceX/etc., or any articles critical of Musk, his ideas, unrealistic promises and timelines, or the working conditions at his companies.

Tesla-specific discussion can be posted here as well as our sister community /c/RealTesla.
