Did the definition of “trolls” suddenly change or is this author just using it wrong? Corporate astroturfing? Sure that makes sense. Corporate trolling? Not sure I get the point of that.
One meaning of the verb ‘troll’ is to misrepresent reality to provoke some sort of reaction. Usually the desired reaction is related to frustration or confusion, but it doesn’t necessarily have to be.
Like, there were certainly things that were worth a bunch of points on Game of Trolls that were less connected to making people angry than to getting them to believe you.
Reddit gets shittier by the day. Currently, they’re blocking users using a VPN, they’re trying to force you to either login to read, or to stop using a VPN so they can have even more of your data. Reddit should be burned to the ground, it’s a data-harvesting cesspool, run by a bunch of greedy dickheads. I wish everyone would wake up and leave at the same time, destroy their IPO.
I’m not a Reddit exponent by any means, but I’ve yet to run into an issue using the site on Mullvad at the router level. There’s unfortunately communities there that can offer useful information not easily found by search engines.
Yeah, unfortunate because all that information could easily move here if Reddit users stopped feeding the machine. The site is being blocked intermittently for numerous VPN users, using Proton, Mullvad, Nord etc. They say it’s a code error but it’s clearly trying to force people to use their crappy app, or login with no privacy.
Yeah, thought the same thing, sounds low. Though, there’s plenty of Russian and CCP trolls too, so maybe they’ve pushed out corporations for the lion’s share.
While the study suggests that a significant portion of Reddit content may be influenced by corporate trolls, it's important to approach such claims with a critical mindset. Reddit, like many online platforms, can be susceptible to manipulation, but not all content can be assumed to be the result of malicious intent. It's advisable to verify information from multiple sources before drawing conclusions.For more insights into online content and discussions, visit our website Chat GPT Login. Keep sharing!
