Tim Pool did a video about this article, and it's very eye-opening.

But compared to network TV news, CNN etc, the Internet is the pillar of truth.

How much of TV advertising is fake? Turns out a lot of it actually- yet we survived as a society just fine- most everyone learns to weed through the hype- Fake Internet crap isn’t going to destroy humanity- only the most gullible will fall for the crap- just like the most gullible will fall for TV ads- don’t see the left all up in arms over TV ads

Our politics are fake.

That's been true for a very long time. Politicians are, for the most part, serial liars.

TV episodes that have been mirror-flipped to avoid copyright takedowns


Did not know that.

And nothing about the Fake News operation in Portland,OR funded by Oregon NBA players.
Its been there since 2006.
I found it by accident in 2010 until they improved their security.

Wow, this sounds serious. The Government clearly needs to regulate internet content. /s

Many articles posted on websites are written by “content writers” (such as work for Textbroker).

Thousands of articles found online with “expert” advice (5 Top Restaurants in Chicago, How To Treat Heel Pain, Best Patio Gardening Tips, etc.) are written not by people who actually know. The articles are written by people sitting in their living rooms doing Goggle searches on the particular topic, who then compose an article to be submitted and accepted by Textbroker or whatever site employs them.

It’s shocking that thousands (millions?) of articles that sound so authoritative and knowledgeable online are most likely written by content writers. At least it was shocking to me when I found out about it.

Personally, I have a hard time believing that ads actually get clicked on, on purpose, by real people, at any serious volume. You can’t use the Internet without mentally learning to filter ads out of your vision. Do a Google search and watch yourself mentally filter the ads out of the results.

Tim Pool is a gasbag.

Watch about the 1st 3 minutes of his videos and then close them out.

He repeats his points over and over for about 5 minutes most times.

He’s worse than Loofah O’Gasbag.

Need to do simple sanity checks. This was posted here a few days ago:

The number of murders in the US is about 17,000 a year which means for that graphic to be true, 1 in 3 murders would be by illegals. The stats that I found were less than 1 in 1000 (CPB) to 9% (cis.org going by federal criminal convictions by non-citizens). Even using the CIS numbers, 1 in 10 is not 1 in 3.

Also doing a simple search of crimes in the news shows lots of domestic murders for every illegal immigrant murder.

re: "How Much of the Internet Is Fake? Turns Out, a Lot of It, Actually."

Who was it that made this particular observation of a notable personality:

"Every word she writes is a lie, including 'and' and 'the'."

I feel that way about most of the nooze stories appearing on the internet ...

Disappointing and terrifying at the same time.

There’s an entire “New Media” complex being developed on Youtube etc...

Tim Pool, Matt Christiansen, Styxhexenhammer666 and Paul Joseph Watson, to name a few. Nevermind Joe Rogan who’s videos get 10 million views each.

Then there’s an entirely different class of Creators. The so-called “Intellectual Dark Web”. Jordan Peterson, Gad Saad, Dave Rubin, Stefan Molyneux, Sargon of Akkad etc.

Lately, I’m following the Anti-Islam channels by David Wood, Christian Prince and the Apostate Prophet. Endless entertainment.

you can buy 5,000 YouTube views — 30 seconds of a video counts as a view — for as low as $15

My YouTube channel has over 7,000,000 views, and I didn't buy a single one! Most of the hits are for my edit of Donald Trump wrestling, but another 400K are for music performances I videoed.
