I was talking with a family member about comments, reviews, etc. on websites.
I told this person that I thought user-generated content was about 60% fake, by bots or wagie farms, and that corporations, foreign governments, and lobbying groups were all in on the show.
For any product or news event, there are these kinds of postings.
It is why I know YouTube is on the scam... they know that this is the case and do nothing.
