 negative; what is it? 
 Almost all of the content on the internet is made by bots and curated to manipulate the public who mostly gets information from the internet rather than generating content

 Yes. Most people just read/watch stuff on the internet. This creates an opportunity for big tech/the government to fill the internet with bullshit to psyop the average user into believing whatever they want them to believe 
 👀 that's cray cray...and makes sense. I try to minimize on empty digital calories. Carl Marci's Rewired goes deep into the psychology of it too, if you're interested.
