He went around and handed the worst people that will shout his praises or what he wants to hear shouted for peanuts the loudest megaphones he could buy. And then acts like the noise is millions of people cause of how loud he made them.
Yup, apparently just need ketamine and loud sycophants to ignore the world.
This is exactly why some people are against calling so-called platforms like that.
Platforms assume everyone can speak freely and in relatively similar conditions. But in reality your message gets amplified if it keeps people glued to the software.
Platforms are more like distributors. They choose what to distribute more of. And they often choose to distribute the most vile of voices.
