In which our favorite Doctor demonstrates how you can call out #factcheckbait without contributing to engagement numbers.
The person posting knew it was a factually wrong post and was counting on QTs to build their engagement numbers.
Juney doesn't help the obvious troll.

Most sanghi Twitter influencers have built their following by posting something that is
1. Hateful about some minority
AND
2. Has some obvious factual error (like posting a pic of Indira eating corn but calling it seafood)
Even QTs correcting their error make them money.

Even when you're QTing someone to call them out as wrong or bigoted, you're still giving them a wider audience. In that, they reach more people on the sidelines whom they can try to convince.
Really, please, stop QTing fascists. Screenshot them if you must call them out.

So you might QT a sanghi's obviously wrong tweet and feel like "Kaisa Sahi pakde hain!" but know that the sanghi you QTed is feeling the same looking at their engagement numbers go up. They don't care if you like them. That are fascists! They want exposure not love.
