Algorithmic content is arguably the worst thing to come out of the internet.
It has made it much easier for these companies to manipulate what people see and feed into their fears and delusions.

MODERATORS
I do wonder how much of this is just that moderate parties are boring.
Keeping food in the supermarkets and having working infrastructure will definitely generate ad revenue... I mean "engagement" than threatening to kill all foreigners and LGBT people.
I think it's more about rage bait. The far right just happens to have the best rage bait for the moderate majority.
Why isn't class-based rage as popular, then?
Because the right censors that and feeds anti-socialist propaganda to the media so people misunderstand it and don't try to fight it.
Because it's based on reality and doesn't pander quite as much.
And any resistance to those policies is met with more rage from the right, its a self propelling cycle.
Exactly
Also the fact that people with moderate views don't tend to watch political content all that much.
US TikTok, and that's the point. Also, we know X is under opposition control. That's no secret.
So is Tik Tok.
