But yeah, they feel like they're real relationship.

That's why people tend to blindly follow them, you know, with everything they say or they share.

Yeah, well, they know that they have very strong and cohesive kind of communities around them.

And they use different tricks and rhetorics and discourses, like the one you said, misinformation legitimation, to legitimize their points of view.

Um, so they, I mean, the effort is, is already, is already done.

I mean, the effort for an influencer is, you know, starting to build the community, but if they have traction at the end, you know, when they are very popular, uh, they can do, they can get away with whatever basically they want.

And they can use also some kind of technical tricks to make misinformation more relevant, like pinning comments or cleaning comments from outsiders of the community.

Not all of that, because some outsiders are good and needed to make the community work and make the community stronger.

So they have an army of people that work and fight for them.

yeah well i mean it's uh it's hard there's no silver bullet golden rule there's nothing just understanding that we are part of this attention economy where that social media created uh where attention is money and so knowing that some people might

do anything to grab our attention is something that probably will help us prevent being victim of misinformation campaigns.

So education, I guess.

Yeah, well, I mean, it's for money, isn't it?

So just be honest.

But I don't think it's something, you know, they will just listen to my suggestion, I guess.
