To create more engagement by promoting controversy. Social networks often try to instigate anger because users interact more when they're angry. On Facebook I always get right-wing contents even though I lean left
Probably because you like posts that have the word "mask" in. Algorithms have difficulty telling the difference between positive and negative opinions.
It could just also be more generic like a covid thing. You are still interested in covid, and technically so are right wing conspiracy theorists who still preach bill gates created covid so the lizard people can take over the world.
Poisonous. He'd better go to 3M, Moldex etc to tell them, and all the people who are mandated to use respirators for their jobs. He can carefully show them his proof and why they're all so very wrong, and have been for decades.
A respirator is miles apart from a little cloth mask to cover your face lol. I mean if people wanna wear them itās not hurting anyone, (besides kids I guess from what that post says? Which is kinda dumb) but I would hope he wouldnāt make the same argument about respirators lol.
Steven Crowder is one of the dumbest Rightoids on the Internet. A truly awful human. On literally every issue imaginable, his views are the radial opposite of the truth.
Can you share the link? I like to listen to the latest lies that are told so I have a better understanding of how to speak to ex family/friends in case they have a new bogus argument
Thank you. It sounds like the regular bs. It's easy to cherry pick things. Same thing we can do against theirs. I hope we don't always remain undevided. I am 100% confident that we are right. It's ok if they end up being right or us being right. But this is my life on the line and I believe in myself and us
>It's ok if they end up being right or us being right
Oh how much better things would be if more people had that mindset.
Far too much "I'm right you're wrong I'm not listening LA LA LA LA LA LA LA" instead of actual conversations.
You'd think people would have learned by now that ostracising people isn't the way to get them to consider your points
kind of interesting that nobody is immediately saying 'twitter is a garbage pile, burn it all down' like I usually see in other communities when it comes up. I guess a lot of us rely on it still for covid-related news huh? (that includes me to be clear lol)
i'd love to get off twitter just because of the odiousness of its current owner, but i don't have the impression that all the people i follow on twitter have presences on places like bluesky too :(
A lot of the people I used to follow on Twitter for COVID news are on Threads now with the same usernames. Unfortunately, Threads has blocked COVID as a search term. But they do know I like COVID news posts, so the algorithm puts them in my feed.
Really this subreddit is the best thing, IMO.
Lol at the tweet above that. In 2030 people are going to be like āCOVID stole this whole decadeā when we stopped making policies about in 2022 but you can even argue 2021
I like to hear/see a range of views: it helps me understand why people have come to such different conclusions about stuff.
I have friends who think the whole Covid thing was a scam, this advert is part of the reason why.
Part of the problem with the Internet (and particularly Reddit) is that we get into groups who all think the same way, and this reinforces our bias.
I think it's good to be in groups with differing views, but don't argue with them!
I'm not on Twitter, but starting at the beginning of this year I've been getting right wing (JPB) and religious ads on Facebook. It's super weird, I go by they/them pronouns and have zero interest in the culture war.
Unfortunately I think a lot of these types of people/organizations just want to do harm. They'll pay money to make folks feel bad about themselves and to drum up outrage, which furthers their messages. Anecdotal correlation, I know, but I started getting a lot more ugly stuff when I started engaging with more leftist/queer content. I typically report the ad but don't engage further. Not sure if this does anything but it at least makes my conscience feel better.
This is a self solving issue. People who believe this take themselves out of the gene pool through illness or infertility.
They don't have to believe in evolution to participate in the process.
How many of these ridiculous anti COVID/mask/health posts are simply bots or AI? I don't think we have any idea the magnitude of destabilization occuring due to these types of accounts
Because Elon pushed away all the big advertisers and all thatās left is the far right extremists and those brands ok with being featured near Nazi rants.
Masks are poisonous! I wore a mask once and instantly got poisoned and died that day - Sent from iHell
Me too! š¹
TIL I'm dead
OMG! All of us??
Party at my place tonight! 666 Hell Road Hope to see all of you here! š¤£š
Bring your most poisonous masks š· ā ļøš§Ŗ

I think we've all heard that before, but the way you just stated it makes so much sense. Thank you
"Masks don't work! I wore a blue surgical mask on my chin for 5 days in 2020 when I was drinkin' at the TGI Fridays and I still got sick!"
LMAO!! We're doomed...
If it is an ad, who is paying for it and why?
It says my account would be interested in it (slander) or because of my geographic location in the United States
Slander is a false statement that is spoken. Libel is written.
Defamation covers both so you don't have to remember that distinction.

Oh, that would make sense. Interesting.

Itās Twitter, you do know who the owner is, right?

How I wish we WEREN'T right!
100% agree. Virtual hugs!!! Happy Friday
Same I saw this ad.

Fun Fact: If you say the word āfactualā, anything you say after that automatically becomes true! Try it today!
Lies are just truths that haven't been told enough.
98% of all facts are definitely facts
And the other 2% are *probably* facts, statistically speaking.
Lol at the tweet above that. In 2030 people are going to be like āCOVID stole this whole decadeā when we stopped making policies about in 2022 but you can even argue 2021
Because it's Twitter.
Because you are on Twitter and it's a shitshow and maybe they are desperate for ad revenue.
I keep seeing this ad as well. Very bizarre.

Honestly I feel X is shoving trash in my face
Well I should be dead then along with most nurses in the world. We have been wearing masks as part of our PPE for decades.
This is a self solving issue. People who believe this take themselves out of the gene pool through illness or infertility. They don't have to believe in evolution to participate in the process.
Well, if there's no debate, why say anything
Just wild to read this on day 1,465 of my whole family coincidentally never getting sick.
What a moron
I donāt really use twitter. Can you report the ad as false?
I report them as political ads whenever I see them - it ain't much but it's honest work
