  • Combining posting activity and views per posts yields us with this perspective of total views. Different rates of amplification mean that the already big differences in posting activity are magnified. So this is what happened. We can easily see how we get to TikTok, as an environment, having much more Pro-Palestinian content than Pro-Israel content. We can also see that for much of October 2023, General content was by far the most dominant. But these data alone cannot tell us why there were such meaningful differences in views per post. There is at least one thing we can rule out, however. This effect doesn’t appear to be tied to user engagement.

    Me: “Wow, I see how someone could get addicted to seeing objects as distinct and not conceptual piles”

    For real though, I was terrified that ADHD meds would make me feel good, and I’d have to fight that urge/dependency for the rest of my life, and instead they just… give me relief from my symptoms. Insane how brain chemistry works. One brain’s neuro-candy is another brain’s prescription glasses.





  • Reddit is only ‘pretty neutral’ insofar as Reddit is barely an entity in and of itself; Reddit communities are much more relevant to the question of bias, and it’s Reddit communities that all Reddit content is derived from.

    Wiki is generally reliable, but in the same way that an encyclopedia is reliable. It can make mistakes, and editors can implant their own biases into articles. That being said, most of the “CIAPEDIA” nonsense on here is unfounded.

    ChatGPT and other AI are trash for accurate information in my experience. At best, they can point you in the right direction. At worst, they send you on snipe hunts.

    Quora used to be better, but has continually degraded and enshittified over the years.
