Social Media's Rigged Algorithms

ALGO

  By Donald Jeffries

 I am beyond frustrated with social media. Not just for myself, but the many, many good, awake, valuable contributors in the alternative media.

There are many of us who do podcasts, write books, and blog regularly, who could go much farther than Tucker Carlson did, and eventually draw the same kind of huge audience. But there isn't a single television network that's going to give any of us that kind of platform. They know that, even as dumbed-down as most Americans are now, the kind of powerful truth we could expose about 9/11 and so many other forbidden topics, would draw people, including lots of "normies" who are asleep but still reachable. And there are plenty of us who could present this kind of information in a humorous and entertaining style.

Since television serves as a public relations outfit for our increasingly deranged "Woke" authorities, and talk radio is dominated by mainstream conservatism, the internet has long been our only hope. And until they banned Alex Jones from the big tech platforms in 2018, the internet was a shockingly free place. Kind of like the old Wild West. YouTube wasn't censoring the often insightful citizen journalist videos about Sandy Hook, the Boston Bombing, and many other topics. Some alternative channels had a million subscribers. I used to be invited on some of the biggest ones. But after Alex Jones, the dominoes started falling, and other channels were banned.

And it's not like the alternative voices support each other that enthusiastically. There is unhealthy competition, and distrust, which I've commented on before. A lot of them cheered the deplatforming of Alex Jones. Too many suspect others, who are saying similar things, of being disinfo agents, limited hangouts, etc. So we have to depend to a large extent upon those who are listening to and reading us. The Twittersphere especially is like a high school hierarchy.
