Gateway drug.
The algorithm has figured out that people who start watching Jordan Peterson are more likely to go down rabbit holes which massively increase that person’s engagement.
Yeah it’s not “serve you stuff that you will like so you keep watching.” It’s "give you a free little baggie of heroin in the hopes that you’ll get addicted and have to keep coming back

The only correct answer is “Yea. Yes I do want to start a fight with Steve Bannon.”
I guess the new name of the company will be Cuckbook. Their tag line will be “No kink shaming”.

I joined one local “community group” and one right wing “ East County politics” group ( have to keep an eye on the enemy) and it took less than a day for my FB ads and suggested posts to go from stuff like Occupy Democrats to shit like “We back the blue” or even random state GOP pages. Mind you, I’m a member of many left wing and progressive groups and have been for a while.
I also made a twitter account for our Democratic Veterans club. I haven’t used it yet. Every single recommended tweet is antivax or right wing crap.

I mean, if he’s been paying the least bit of attention, and he has, he knows that screaming FAKE NEWS over and over is a bulletproof strategy to beat uncomfortable truths.
I wonder how facebook’s algorithm treats stories about facebook’s untowardness?
Obviously those stories are “biased” and it wouldn’t be appropriate to let them circulate on Facebook. That’s just common sense.

I don’t get it. He worked for GWB, why wouldn’t he celebrate
I kind of respect this. He’s not resting on his laurels or launching rockets after having won, he’s doing something batshit crazy. Respect the hustle.
The disruptive innovation of capitalism sometimes eats itself.
