I have this mindset that in this information era, if something is put in front of you, someone else spent money and effort for that. Most often, that person is benefiting or profiting from it and you’re nothing but a puppet in that war.
Does that mean the news and other media we see are all false? Not really. But it certainly means it makes us worry or pay attention to irrelevant stuff instead of worrying about things that are actually important for us individually.
When you see it from this angle you realize there’s so much more important stuff happening, but news outlets decide to write about some Threads search meddling (which seems nobody uses anyway, but some people apparently feel threatened by it).
