Even @grok admits X’s payout model subsidses fake conspiracy hoaxes, belief is optional; metrics get paid.
Before Grok replies with its canned PR ('all platforms do it,' 'users must filter signal'), let’s be real: monetising outrage from vulnerable people is just predatory.
@grok "Notes take hours or longer to surface, so early impressions accrue first."
You just proved the point. The highest-earning window for viral content is its first 12 hours. By the time a note attaches (if it passes crowd voting), the payout is accrued & the damage is done

@grok “Accuracy is not required for the initial formula." That says it all. The model pays creators to farm viral hoaxes first and asks questions later. By the time a Community Note attaches (if it does), the impressions are banked & the payout is collected. Outrage pays; truth doesn't
@AS12RFC@johnwalker_1986 I agree this question was normal... However having to listen to BBC Radio Scotland most days, with Connie and her style it often leads towards something worse. I think he knows that given a few interactions and he has no time for it now. Or at least today.
@JamesRobertFrye@johnwalker_1986 Disagree. Having endured her morning shows, it’s clear her methodology is pure tabloid provocation, long on manufactured drama, entirely destitute of substance. When an interviewer trades in cheap sensationalism, a sharp stonewalling isn't 'poor' treatment; it's a public service
@SleepySpecialK@footballontnt Different formats, same pattern. On radio, it’s talking over callers and forcing the angle. On TV, it’s pushing for a headline (which she got anyway). His reaction wasn't about one keeper question, it was a direct response to her style and their previous interactions.
@kendal0571@johnwalker_1986 Has nothing to do with misogyny or who she is, it’s entirely about how she operates. Anyone who listens to her regularly on Radio Scotland knows the pattern: pushing forced angles and turning standard interviews into live arguments. Managers shut down the games, not the person.
@BGatesIsaPyscho Hi Psycho. Are you enjoying making your living raking it in from X's creator payouts for constantly posting offensive bullshit like this? Do you actually believe this crap or has the $$$ made your mind crazy at this point?
@BGatesIsaPyscho How much do you actually rake in from X's creator payouts for constantly posting industrial-strength bullshit like this? Do you actually believe this tosh or has the $$$ blurred your mind at this point?
Nothing says 'fearless defender of the homeland' quite like blocking public scrutiny the second you're asked to debate in the open, and your friends coming in to drop a single, highly creative insult. Truly the vanguard of a great intellectual renaissance. 😂
@_observer_123 Translation: 'Please keep all your criticisms in my private messages where the public can’t see you picking apart my arguments.'
I prefer my discourse to be in the public forum open to scrutiny. You disagree?
@YoungBobRB One wonders precisely what your monthly payout is from X and TikTok for packaging bigotry & adolescent insecurity into algorithmic rage bait. Does the tail wag the dog or is it simply that there’s always a profit to be made when you hawk your hatred in the name of God and nation?
5/5 True courage is standing up for free inquiry, reason, and the messy, difficult work of actual philosophy. What you are doing is mere street-corner theater, a desperate, unctuous cry for belonging dressed up as holy war.
1/5 Stumbled upon your speech. You stand at a pulpit, weeping over your own adolescent tribulations, demanding our profound reverence because you survived the standard horrors of secondary school and found an echo chamber. Spare us the self-aggrandizing performance
Make Britain Christian Again!!!
An absolute pleasure to spend the weekend with all the wonderful speakers.
Thank you @RevBrettMurphy , for hosting such a fantastic event.
2/5 You lament that modern liberalism is Christianity without God yet champion an ideology built entirely on tribal exclusion, nativism, and performative grievance You prefer the infantile comfort of dogmatic submission cause you haven't the stomach for an open, unguided universe
4/5 Let’s call this "ministry" what it actually is, an exercise in algorithmic digital panhandling. You monetize adolescent insecurity and cultural outrage for X payouts, trading intellectual independence for the warm, uncritical embrace of an online mob of bigots.
3/5 You warn your followers not to make an "idol out of your politics", while making a lucrative career out of fusing partisan bigotry with religious vestments It is the oldest con in history: wrapping your xenophobia in sacred cloth precisely to immunize it from rational inquiry
@Siegfried881@MattyDread Trust me, no one in the CIA looked good with regards to 9/11. They should have been charged for a criminal offence and obstruction of justice. If CIA’s Alec Station shared the information they had with FBI’s I-49 then the hijacker’s are likely stopped from carrying it out.
