Okay, so you guys know I’m all about the behind-the-scenes stuff, right? Well, let me tell you about this little experiment I did after hearing some buzz about “raquel gonzalez and braun strowman split”. Now, before you think this is some gossip blog stuff, it’s not. It was purely for… research purposes. Yeah, let’s go with that.
First, I started by diving deep into the forums. I mean, deep. Reddit, Twitter, all the usual suspects. I wanted to get a feel for the vibe, what people were saying, what theories were floating around. I just wanted to get the lay of the land before diving in. You know, like checking the water before you jump in.
Then came the fun part: I decided to mess with the algorithm. I started liking, commenting, and sharing posts related to both Raquel Gonzalez and Braun Strowman. I even searched for them both constantly. It was all very scientific. I was trying to see what would happen if you feed the beast what it wants.
Next, I tried creating a fake “news” story. No, not a real one! Just a little mock-up in Photoshop to see if I could trick the algorithm into picking it up and spreading it. It was super basic, just a screenshot of a fake tweet saying they’d broken up. I wasn’t trying to deceive anyone, just testing the waters. I kept it on a private discord server between me and two friends.
Now, the results were… interesting. On my end, the algorithm went crazy. Suddenly, my feeds were flooded with content about Raquel and Braun, both individually and together. Even stuff that wasn’t remotely related to wrestling! Ads, suggestions, everything was geared toward those two. It was actually a bit creepy, but hey, data is data.
But here’s the kicker: the fake news story? Total flop. Didn’t go anywhere. Thank god! Which is a good sign that these algorithms are pretty good at stopping fake news spreading. It really goes to show that just creating content doesn’t guarantee it’ll blow up. There are other factors at play.
So, what did I learn? Well, mostly that these algorithms are powerful. They can be easily manipulated to show you what they think you want to see. It’s important to be aware of that and to think critically about the information you consume. And secondly, faking news is hard, and you probably shouldn’t do it.
Anyways, that was my little experiment. It was kinda fun, kinda eye-opening. Hope you guys found it interesting! Let me know in the comments if you’ve ever done anything similar, or if you have any other ideas for future experiments.
