The speed and spread of nonsense is accelerating. Within a day the story about youtube view counts spread with hundreds of angry comments about youtube and enshitification. People are getting ragebaited repeatedly on a scale that is new. Not that misinformation in general is new | ||

I’m not sure about that is there’s something that could’ve happened in the 60s that is so oddly technical, yet understood by millions of people? that it could be misinterpreted and spread like this: add block users mistaken as bots? It would just sound like gobbledygook to someone in the 1960s. | ||

Nonsense is just a subset of information; the speed of information is absolutely accelerating. | ||
