People continue to believe they are getting a reading on the American people based on twitter replies but the reality is that Twitter AI brings comments to the top based on alignment with the agenda, and there is army of shills ready to provide the comments.

I'm sure they are on gab also.

the notorious “50-cent gang” (wu­mao dang) – so called in the popular but mistaken belief that this is the amount they are paid for each online post made in defence of the ­government.

I don't think we get too many 50-cent shills here because they are too easy to detect. I think our shills are more advanced. I think here on GA it is mostly Clowns trying to plant extremist content so they direct reporters to it to write hit pieces.
