Just 34 of these misleading posts received more than 37 million views, according to ISD. Many of the accounts posting the misinformation were also verified, meaning they have paid X $8 per month for the “blue tick” and that their content is amplified by the platform’s algorithm.
$8 for a million views is a pretty good deal. Ex-twitter is essentially now just a troll marketplace.

Not defending X, but going elsewhere won’t protect us from disinformation and the open nature of this network means we have to be especially careful.
