I don't blame him. Twitter is full of bots meant to falsify interaction, propagandize and give a false image of the service being more popular than it truly is.

Go to any influential right-wing or right-leaning account and you'll see that the top tweets in reply to most of their tweets is a critic.

These tweets are right at the top of the replies despite have little to zero likes, replies and retweets. They are artificially boosted by twitter's algorithm and may even be bot accounts run internally by twitter. Most of which, whether run by twitter or not, are powered by a GPT-3 or newer AI backend. GPT-4 is set to be available to wealthy companies any time now.

Lastly, you may or may have never recognized it but if you regularly use twitter, certain websites' comment sections (especially those that run on disqus), twitch, Instagram and youtube then you've definitely interacted with a bot.

The overturning of the 2020 elections was obviously very unlikely by the middle of last year. Over the longer term, within a decade, much will be revealed and it will reduce the Democratic Party into being ineffectual and cause the Democratic Party to splinter.

More fearmongering by government. Kennel cough is not a new disease.

YouTube, with its Trusted Flagger/Heroes Program has been compromised at the moderation level. All sorts of individuals, groups, NGOs, organizations, gov agencies have been specifically accepted by YouTube as those who will fully transform the service, in time, into one that is wholly representative of the Google, Silicon Valley world view.

Regarding the Ron Paul Institute's channel, my guess is that the "accidental" removal of his channel was temporary to apply some sort of invisible, behind-the-scenes flag on the channel that downranks it and makes it less visible on YouTube, YouTube search, Google search and on any platform and search partnered with Google.

For anyone looking for free software for reading, studying or finding references in the Bible, the best program imo is at https://www.e-sword.net. It also has a commentaries section that explains and offers more detail about the current part of the Bible you're reading and also a section to leave your own notes.
