What is up with r/politics? (self.EnoughTrumpSpam)

-poop-in-the-soup- が 投稿

I do support Hillary, I think Trump is dangerous. No amount of back room shenanigans force him to spew the garbage that comes out of his mouth.

But I can certainly understand the perception that CTR is out in force. A lot of posts from accounts that post articles like it's their job. And a conspicuous variety of headlines and publishers.

Tho I am glad to have the information, it looks awfully coordinated. Usually it's the same handful of headlines posted twenty different ways each. This has the appearance of carefully laying out your magazines before company comes over.

When news breaks it breaks at the same time for news publishers.

Pls take off your tinfoil hat. Everything you accuse /r/politics of doing is much worse on r/the_donald

When news breaks, everyone's in a hurry to post it - same as anywhere else, really. You're right that it can be kind of echo-chambery in /politics, but I think it's less because of CTR (because CTR has become all but meaningless and just means "person w/ opinions I don't like") and more because most people outside of conservative circlejerks are sick and tired of Trump/his followers' bullshit.

You can only witness so much hate, willful ignorance, and cult-like thinking before you lose your empathy for them and shut the fuck down on trying to have legit discussion.

Got a couple of reports on this. The one I thought was interesting was this one: "Virtue Signaler". So I looked it up:

Virtue signalling is the expression or promotion of viewpoints that are especially valued within a social group, especially when this is done primarily to enhance the social standing of the speaker.

Not saying I agree with the report. Just thought it was a neat TIL
