->''"Clyde then goes to sulk in his room watching his favorite [=YouTuber=], [[Creator/LoganPaul Logan LeDouche]], who of course devotes a good portion of his video to advertising Cred to his child audience. Quick side-note: I noticed that nowadays, ''South Park'' almost [[NoCelebritiesWereHarmed never uses the real name]] of celebrities they make fun of, and I wonder why that is; I always liked that they would just straight-up call them out in the old episodes and now they always do, like, these weird parody names for some reason.

Yes, he [[ApprovalOfGod made a one-to-one recreation of this fake ad]] and posted it on his Twitter. You know, what really makes me upset about this is just the absolute shamelessness in it. The gall to take something that is clearly criticizing you for a relatively serious issue— and lean into it to further promote the same unethical business practices— just cements the [[BadInfluencer total lack of moral compass]] that this guy has. He knows that by leaning into the joke and embracing the parody, he's basically saying, "Look, kids! I'm self-aware about my scummy unethical business practices! Isn't that funny? I sure do have a sense of humor! Now go buy my drink," and all the kids who don't understand they're being manipulated think, "Wow, props to him, he really knows how to take a joke!

->''"...this is classic rage-farming: eliciting outrage to boost engagement and support. As [=@MollyJongFast=] has put it, it's 'the product of a perfect storm of fuckery, an unholy mélange of algorithms and anxiety'. They are baiting you to retweet and react angrily to them.\\
Twitter's algorithms (and those of social media more generally) spread content if people are interacting with it. If you're retweeting it, you're boosting it to all of your followers, as well as to any random individuals who might come across it.\\
Anger is one of the most powerful motivating emotions. Research on the Chinese platform Weibo has shown users share content that elicits disgust and anger more often than content that content that elicits positive emotions. Social media algorithms amplify human psychology.\\
If rage-farmers make you angry enough to retweet them, they're winning. To avoid this, don't 'like' or retweet what they're saying. That will just boost it algorithmically and spread it further.\\
If you must quote it, screenshot it, don't retweet. Ideally, don't quote it at all but just describe it in the most general terms, as I'm doing here. Don't name the individuals making the claims. Rage-farmers are looking for the oxygen of publicity. Don't provide them with it."''
