So wikipedia is heavily compromised these days

Post by Sinful »

Know folks complained of it's validity before, but these days it seems completely controlled by government and corporations. A none controversial example is The Last Jedi and how during it's theater money making days not one mention of the controversial Rotten Tomatoes audience score, but instead the audience score of CinemaScore (which if anyone believes is legit just from browsing a few seconds of their page... sigh, just watch this video; https://youtu.be/ZnU74y5g41o). This is Disney, now the biggest giant in entertainment, honestly think they'd let anyone tamper their 1.330 billion profits with a wiki edit of all things?

Haven't ever tried to make any edits myself, but recalled someone who has and they said those edits to their edits happen zip fast.

I noticed this myself, the entry for The Last Jedi mentions nothing about the RT audience score and the controversy surrounding the fans take on the matter. In fact it makes a discerned point on critics saying it's the best Star Wars film since Empire...a far cry from what the public actually thinks. It seems to be somewhat cherry picked information, does Disney's claws reach as far as Wikipedia?

Just wanted to talk how it's becoming more and more apparent everything we're taught is a lie. There's a big push for only one narrative and censorship of free speech, haven't you all heard how YouTube is hitting channels going against the official story of the Las Vegas shooting as well as altering search algorithms for it.

Everything is a lie, just like the "race divide", or whatever other thread you created that isn't there anymore. Are you altering my search algorithms?

I started giving a shit about wikipedia the day I read this crap:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Racing_vi ... simulators
"Racing simulators are usually piloted exclusively from the interior driving view, as driving views from a perspective other than the driver's are considered arcade."
All the other non-fanboy articles on it are ok tho.

The jap wiki is still the best thing invented by mankind, if only the english animu/manga/game articles were direct translations from the japanese version.

Everything is heavily compromised by big business these days. Sad but true. All the promise of the truly democratic dissemination of knowledge that the internet showed in the early days sucked dry all in the pursuit of the almighty dollar. Like I said, sad but true. :(

Lets bring up the 2017 Las Vegas shooting wikipedia page;
Google and Facebook were criticized for displaying such false news stories in some of their search results.[69][76][77] The two technology companies were said to have failed in their responsibility of keeping false stories from reaching the public.[78] Facebook later said its algorithms were designed to detect and remove false stories, but failed to work adequately in this instance.[76]

In the aftermath of the shooting, some media outlets reported that YouTube search results for information about the shooting returned links to conspiracy videos. YouTube stated that it had tweaked its search algorithm to promote news sources which it considered more authoritative.
Lots of interesting footage on YouTube showing multiple sources for the gunfire, even seen footage of someone within the crowd pulling a weapon and shooting. But since they don't fit the "official" story, despite video evidence and eyewitnesses, all these videos are getting pulled down fast.

So plenty of evidence showing this is another false flag, down to there being a drill the day before.

Sinful, what are your thoughts on QAnon?
Two working class dudes, one black one white, just baked a tray of ten cookies together.

An oligarch walks in and grabs nine cookies for himself.

Then he says to the white dude "Watch out for that black dude, he wants a piece of your cookie!"

Never heard of it. Maybe you should share your thoughts on it.

Y'know what? I should have done this several threads ago. I've seen enough. Banned.
