I keep quoting this:
"So much of the conversation around misinformation suggests that its primary job is to persuade. But as Michael Caulfield, an information researcher at the University of Washington, has argued, “The primary use of ‘misinformation’ is not to change the beliefs of other people at all. Instead, the vast majority of misinformation is offered as a service for people to maintain their beliefs in face of overwhelming evidence to the contrary.”"

@susankayequinn I would say half of it is. I would say the other half is people feeling the need to be socially acceptable by demonstrating authority, by making low-effort posts with no underpinning whatsoever.

Not intentionally. Probably should have put a

@khleedril when you said "just like this one" I took that to mean you saying I was "making a low-effort post with no underpinning whatsoever".
If that's not what you meant, then I'm curious what you meant.

@susankayequinn It was a self-referential statement, an internal contradiction. I meant what I said, but in retrospect realized I was just actually making some shit up.
