The inability for consultants to think about the fact you can do both is hilarious. Like you throw out the glonzo shit for the low info guys and for the rest you do healthcare costs. Microtargeting exists.

Social media functions as a "distorted mirror," explains @pumashen.bsky.social, e.g. 3% of accounts generate 33% of posts; 1% of online communities are responsible for 74% of conflict; 0.1% of users drive 80% of #disinformation.
The strategic response is to neutralize methods of mass amplification.

True, but also Cambridge Analytica used Facebook data stolen from users to create 5000 data pts on every single US voter in 2016, something earlier Rs could only dream of. Imagine what dark microtargeting and psyops they can run ten yrs later—time to rewatch the Great Hack on Netflix.

Fundamentally you need people to trust you, and microtargeting your policy positions like this is a way to sound fake and corporate.
i'm fine with a deeper focus on economic issues over social issues but man does plank 2 give the game away

This is not solely a problem of policy enforcement, but an issue with the fundamental architecture of Meta’s opaque and poorly moderated advertising model built on surveillance, profiling, and microtargeting. (24/27)

Wild but true. Testosterone, the alpha hormone, can influence how we vote. It is often routinely targeted by hate, anger & aggression driven fake news posts. This was ranked as an essential Psychology Today read when it was released:

Here's the thing tho... propaganda is advertising. How can Democrats be so bad at it. And how are we not also microtargeting people using social media data?

Oh, I agree micro-targeting is worse. I read around 2015 about Putins man that invented the confusion method and ran it from 2000, and how it worked in Russia. It was a warning about Trump. Will look for it. Microtargeting not possible in 2000, and AI wasn't out, so I see those as refinements.

1/ 🚨 Conspiracy theories about the 2024 election miss the bigger picture.
The truth? It wasn’t one night, one hack, or one fraud. It was a system rigged in plain sight – right in front of us. The playbook was out in the open for years. But hardly anyone paid attention.
Here’s how they did it... 🧵

To fight this, we need:
– Transparency laws for political content
– Platform friction for ad targeting
– Literacy around personalized persuasion
Microtargeting isn’t going away — but we can shrink its impact.
