I hope the advertising at the end of the video was meant to be ironic.

The videos he describes have been around for years.

Fake news has been around since news was invented too.

It's interesting. It'll continue and the sites will counteract. I blame the sites for creating their platforms as they are - humans and greed will never end. Remove advertising income for those posting? The content will head in political ways.
I do hope it all implodes though because it's (those 3 sites) taken over everyones lives.

I'd actually seen snow effect two weeks ago on a compilation video and had wondered what the f. I'd guessed on confusing algorithms designed to suss out copied content.

It will always be abused because Moses, Jesus and the prophet Mohamed.

Step 1: Say something divisive
Step 2: Astro-turf reactions with fake accounts
Step 3: Hope for real world clicks
Step 4: Profit!

For step 1 the scammers musta thought all their Xmases came at once when Trump got elected.

I wonder if you could do it with anything.... "Brexit Bike Reviews"

Kinda reminds me of my Flickr account. For those not in the know - there's a deep dark side to Flickr and it's full of creeps.
If I put a pic up of a nice view I might get 30 views over two weeks. If I tag the image with milf, hot, wet, hairy it'll get thousands of views.
Those creeps in the dark corners of Flickr hunt for key words.
The same could be applied to the sites where clicks means income - just spout utter bollox made up stuff and the views will come.

Was at a community center IT room last night and chatting to the 87 year old who started it in 2004. I asked if he thought the internet was still in its infancy (when he did work he was a radio technician on the V Bombers). His words: We started it, the internet. People shaped it, the internet. It's now become something and it's being used badly by those wanting power.

I used to service Commodore PETs in the 80's. Sturdy buggers.

Commodore PET was popular when PCs weren't used for anything important.

It must have been frustrating to know what you wanted your PC to do but the hardware hadn't been developed to cope with the inventiveness yet. Or it was too expensive.

I remember programming a Sinclair Spectrum to write my name on the screen and then move it around. Courtesy of some computer magazine.

A total waste of time but I was as chuffed as fvck when it worked.
