      They’re a rhetorical device to illustrate a point, not the findings of a scientific survey.

        Yeah, next time just reply with “check out my domain name”, or “.ml” if you wanna be even more efficient. Most people will understand your point.

        But just to reply to your point so you can’t accuse me of not engaging with your bs or whatever : the russians are investing in propaganda for a “maybe 0.1%”? This And This And everything else just because of “maybe 0.1%”?

        Everyone knows that there’s multiple factors at play here, and even if trump wins this year, it won’t be only because of bots and propaganda. Like you said, the fact that you can accept donations for your campaign is a huge factor in who gets most visibility. And because most voters are uneducated, they’ll just vote for the most visible ones.

        The thing is, most people around here accused of being bots aren’t really bots nor paid by russia. I don’t think anyone actually believes they are. But they’re people on which the propaganda worked.
