I am also banned from reddit and can't contribute. You'd imagine that would pull me more towards lemmy, but just getting the novelty of so many new posts makes it enticing even if I am not interacting.
Instagram and tiktok benefit less from its algo imo than they do from its numerous creators. The novelty drives people. It's complicated I am sure but actively this is what I think about when I reach for these platforms.
I definitely think the trick is having innumerable amount of content.
That's true. And I mean it's not like America doesn't have blood on its hand and these comedians make their entire living in America. Even under the better presidents, US has done some vile shit.
I think the difference is that the government directly sponsored the program and paid out millions of dollars for them to do the shows. And personally it was the bill burr hypocrisy. He got millions of dollars to do sane-washing for a billionaire/trillionaire, while he bashes the same thing at home.
High five. I got mine for saying "fuck all nazis and colonial apologia".
