The internet was supposed to liberate us.

But the internet learned to lie to us when it became it ultimate tool for advertisers...
Now @facebook @Google @Twitter @instagram show you what they think you want to see, based on previous activity or based on popularity of a post or tweet.

They are literally promoting populists and populist ideas.
The internet is now run almost purely for the benefit of advertisers.

Whose interests do you think advertisers serve - yours or theirs?
How do you get free marketing on the internet?

You polarise opinion.

You provoke people so both the lovers and the haters are interacting with your posts.

Sit back and let Facebook and twitter do the rest...
