Are we legitimately reacting to something that's a media craze right now or is the rabid contempt for these pop media puppets being pushed on us from somewhere?

This doesn't feel totally organic to me.

I guess this doesn't make this a very good askpoal post since I've already drawn a conclusion. Sorry. But is anyone feeling the same way or anyone disagree?

I refuse to upvote any of them. In fact I refuse to give a single one of these posts any attention at all.

I can't tell if the problem is:

1) The same as previous declines of other sites caused by migrations from sites on the downward slide

2) Paid shills like the JIDF creating accounts/posts in mass and simply upvoting each other to alter the narrative.

3) Both of those things (they may be the same thing happening described in two perspectives).

I mean I can see who's Greta posting here and I know most of these posters are not shills. But I think the frenzy to meme this person could have been introduced through other channels and seeped in.

I would think more mainstream places like 4chan or T_D or twitter could be more easily shilled and would most likely be the source for memes that get reposted here and Voat. Once a phenomenon emerges, right wing media catches on and sees an opportunity for clicks and views. Then organic memeing would follow.

The point isn't to direct the message of such memes, but to choose the target. Since the internet can be harshly critical when a mob forms, it has potential to get to a point where normals would be put off by the reaction. After all, this is just a retarded little girl.
