Comment on Influencer cartels manipulate social mediaparent

It of course feels highly coordinated...

It's like mainstream media. If you follow them across several countries you see the exact same pattern: they work on something together but put an embargo on the release. Then when they decide it's time to push the narrative, suddenly all mainstream newspaper write about, say, how masks do not work vs Covid, then one month later they all write at the same time how masks work against Covid, lately it's been a coordinated attack on Dubai (not that there aren't shady things there).

It's not about whether they're right or not: it's the complete and total narrative control and coordination that is hard to stomach.

You know you're being played.
