r/politics has likely no more than 100,00 unique human users(made-it-the-fuck-up) . There are 15,000 unique human posters. All of them are terminally online liberals. Of those 15,000, there are a small fraction of power users, probably no more then 1,000 (made-it-the-fuck-up et al, 2024 ) who create the majority of content on that subreddit (it-is-known). The Internet is dominated by power users who drown out "normal" (if you can find such a person) people's voices. This power user effect is how you get stuff like the outage over Peanut the squirrel.

This, combined with the swarms of bots has lead me to believe that any sort of Internet option monitoring cannot be used seriously.

yeah probably. some days i just want to give up gauging anything. polls are faked, comments are faked, news is faked.

it would be so easy to hermetically seal us each into info bubbles and just create independent realities for each person in the west.

work is so intense i can't talk to anyone there about anything. family in their own bubbles.
