Do you have a stock that you need to pump and dump for a quick profit? Are you a B list star that wants your name in the headlights as part of the latest celebrity gossip? Or are you simply part of a federal agency who is hoping to entrap some basement dwelling incel into saying the quiet (illegal) part out loud by inflaming him with divisive comments? Perhaps you need to fracture some grassroots movement by seeding a fake but not threatening storyline.
Bot farms have come a long way since 2020. It used to be that those poor paying jobs went to some compliant human slave in India or China who was behind the helm of hundreds of smart phones who was sending on demand copypasta or flooding some targeted human user with negative comments.
In unrelated news, for one cent per like, I might have found a way to market my books.
“Bot farm amplification is being used to make ideas on social media seem more popular than they really are. A bot farm consists of hundreds and thousands of smartphones controlled by one computer. In data-center-like facilities, racks of phones use fake social media accounts and mobile apps to share and engage. The bot farm broadcasts coordinated likes, comments, and shares to make it seem as if a lot of people are excited or upset about something like a volatile stock, a global travesty, or celebrity gossip—even though they’re not.
Meta calls it “coordinated inauthentic behavior.” It fools the social network’s algorithm into showing the post to more people because the system thinks it’s trending. Since the fake accounts pass the Turing test, they escape detection.
Software bots posted spam, also known as copypasta, which is a block of text that gets repeatedly copied and pasted. But the bot farmers use AI to author unique, personalized posts and comments. Integrating platforms like ChatGPT, Gemini, and Claude into a visual flow-building platform like Make.com, bots can be programmed with advanced logic and conditional paths and use deep integrations leveraging large language models to sound like a 35-year-old libertarian schoolteacher from the Northwest, or a MAGA auto mechanic from the Dakotas.
Commercial bot farms charge around a penny per action to like posts, follow accounts, leave comments, watch videos, and visit websites. Sometimes positioned as “growth marketing services” or “social media marketing panels,” commercial bot farms ply their trades on gig marketplaces like Fiverr and Upwork, as well as direct to consumer through their own websites.
Courts recently dismissed a securities fraud claim against a group of online influencers called the Goblin Gang, who made millions buying up shares of thinly traded, low-float stocks, which they promoted aggressively on Twitter, Discord, and their podcast. Once followers bought into the stock—which, in turn, pumped up the share price—the defendants dumped their shares at inflated prices without disclosing it to their flock.
The court dismissed the indictment because the government failed to prove a scheme to defraud. Expressing enthusiasm, even if it is exaggerated, didn’t meet the legal threshold for securities fraud. On March 21, 2025, Bloomberg columnist Matt Levine wrote an opinion piece titled “Pump and Dumps Are Legal Now.”
Insider trading prior to regulatory announcements is also legal. I still want to see the Epstein “suicide” video the AI comes up with. Perhaps I can get a job improving their systems?
On that note I am going to venture back into the territory of what I have seen as a conspiracy Psyop, i.e. Flat Earth Theory. I am aware that I have some well meaning readers who are convinced in this one. I believe the Earth is probably not flat.
The technology has existed for a long time to suppress certain ideas on the Internet while amplifying others. The first time I saw clear evidence of this was in 2014 on my Facebook page. I posted a link to Mike Adams analysis in his own independant laboratory of what was inside flu vaccines. A few days passed and there was not one like or comment regarding this. This was during a time when my selfies or family photos could generate hundreds of likes. I think my cat could have walked across the keyboard posting ktbc45@# and I would have still had several likes or comments. I recognize now that the compliance training (I.e. the dopamine hit from likes and comments) was to give up your personal data (i.e. pictures of you and your children) while staying far away from criticizing vaccines.
On checking my Facebook page from my husband’s account I realized that the antivax post was not visible. It had been that easy. I am sure that I have ben shadow banned for years.
I believe that Flat Earth Theory was pushed and promoted in order to fracture the truth movement. It seems exactly like the type of thing that the genius club at my high school would have come up with. This article describes the reasons the CIA would have promoted this theory:
“Their target audience: the “truth” movement. Those who are at least partially awake to the deceptions going on everyday in every government, courtroom, hospital and church/synagogue/mosque/temple, etc. around the world. That’s who the parasitic criminal class desperately need to derail to keep an all-out revolution from taking place. A revolution that would inevitably lead to the public lynching of all of these sycophant glove-puppets in public office as well as their pedophile puppet master banksters and the so-called “royalty” including the pope.
Obviously this last resort “ace-in-the-hole” insurance policy would need to be carefully planned years in advance and appear to be “the mother of all conspiracies” while at the same time pose no real threat to their “new” world order. Something innocuous enough to preclude any hope of a mass awakening, while at the same time hamstringing truth seekers with endless debates about something no one can change and that ultimately will help no one avoid the planned chaos and mass extermination that’s coming.”
Curiously the article at the beginning of this strip regarding AI bots and social media plants its own disinformation seed by claiming that the October 7 was a false flag attack by Israel was a disinformation campaign by Iran or something. There is a lot of evidence which points to the Hamas attack as something which at a bare minimum Netanyahu wanted to happen. The Satanic death cult is certainly willing to throw its own people under the bus to establish its wider goals of enslavement, death and domination.
So do you think the Earth is Flat? Why or why not?
Occam might say the world is round because humans can travel in any direction, verify consistent changes in the background stars, and eventually return to their point of origin. If we get quantumly entangled beyond that, all bets are off.
I suspect most flat earthers belong in one of two categories. One is like 6th graders who combine and eat anything on the lunch tray—like spinach, Jello, and chocolate milk. They pretend it’s delicious and enjoy the notoriety. The other category wants to distract or fool us while they pick our pockets. I prefer the spinach/Jello/chocolate milk type. They’re amusing and inexpensive.
Of course Earth is round, how else could we have a thick, chocolaty mantle and caramel nougat center, hmmm?
