@Abyss1992 And, of course, they paid for a blue check, and thus get a cut of ad revenue, so it's in their interest to generate engagement.
@LiberalLibrarian "It doesn't matter if it is true, so long as we're the first ones to say it. If it is tue, people will laud us, if it is not, we delete and hope people forget."

@LiberalLibrarian It's a hope.
