1/3 🚨 WATCH: MAGA uses bots to hack the ALGORITHM and REALITY, The James Talarico Story PART 2 🚨 After the James Talarico post blew up, I did a follow-up analysis on the MAGA influencer sphere on Twitter. I adjusted the last chart to fit the new data, and came up with what I'm calling a “Music Drop visualization” to show something I only briefly covered last time. Repost bots. In this post, you can see some of the biggest accounts outside Elon Musk, are MAGA “influencers” who are very high traffic on twitter, but don’t have much reach beyond it. xitter.cf/datboislendie/status/2… credit: slendie (@DatBoiSlendie) A small number of accounts drive an incredible amount of traffic with fairly crude bot networks as I will show. Over Oct 11 and 12, 294 accounts posted 1,575 word-for-word copies of just seven MAGA accounts. 134 of them copied Eric Daugherty 960 times, and every one of his 121 posts got copied. The busiest copier posted 141 copies in two days. All of these dots falling off the top line are mostly word for word copies of the original, and a smaller amount within 10% variance. This is nearly, if not 100% manufactured, and it works very well. To pour some cold water on another theory that's been going around, I've also seen NO drop in post volume I could pin on the Russian data centres being hit. That's only from what I've seen on Twitter and on the topics I looked at, I can't speak for reddit or other topics outside maga. However, I think there is ANOTHER reason things feel different in the last few days. Algorithm changes. If I'm correct, algorithm changes explain more of the posting patterns and feed changes people have noticed or felt. Including what may have changed, and what to watch for from the MAGA accounts in the next month. More on that below. For now, enjoy (headphones recommended).
