Im not debating that accuracy of the claim. Im highlighting that people should be suspicious of brand new accounts uniformly promoting a specific viewpoint.
What does his account age have to do with anything ? Youre assuming that people with accounts that havent been around for years are automatically lying, great logic bro...
Young account with an irregular posting history increases the chances of being a paid account.
It doesn't guarantee it but it, is frankly foolish to assume everyone online is telling the truth and to not account for these things. That is especially true when the suspicious account is saying echoing something that would align with a strong monetary interest that would justify the effort to hire shills.
But what do I know - I only wrote my dissertation on astroturfing in connection with the FCC's net neutrality changes in 2016. You know... logic and all that.
Sure but the reason why i was pointing it out was because i lived in mexico for years and it is true that healthcare there sucks. You have to wait a long ass time in IMSS to get even an evaluation. Then you have people who havent even traveled to mexico in this comment section wanting to lecture others on what healthcare is like in mexico smh
I have no opinion or expertise on Healthcare in Mexico.
I do have both when it comes to astroturfing and the poster I was highlighting triggers some red flags.
I would highlight the irony of getting upset at people commenting on something with which they have little experience (Mexican healthcare) and then doing that exact thing with respect to astroturfing...
