It's social media 'engagement for dollars' and it probably should be outlawed . . .

Why?

Because for attention, clicks and likes people just blatantly LIE.

They post DISINFORMATION.

KNOWING it is BS.

EXPECTING comments, controversy, anger and even bashing them over the clear informational swerve. 

I mean, have you seen some of those reels showing tips and tricks to clean and make up and invest? COMPLETE NONSENSE and it's all to get your attention

for which they are PAID. The number of paid TROLLS is staggering. How to identify? They don't know you, and they call you out for something so you will defend yourself or cuss them out or whatever. Look at their profile, they have less than 8 followers and call themselves 'content creators'

Who pays them? OH YOU'D BE SURPRISED. 

or maybe not. I learned that MOST of these trolls, if you peel back a layer, are not based in USA but in India, Bangladesh, Nigeria, Pakistan and everywhere but AMERICA . . . Michael Smith posted a really eyeball-opening article about exactly where and why we have some of this nonsense.


They are hired and compensated to divide us.


(I'll make your life easy, in case you start to read the article and want to click off at the 'political backstory' we all know . . . here's the point:

"One supposedly salt-of-the-earth MAGA influencer—profile picture stolen from a Kansas real-estate agent—was posting daily from a suburb of Islamabad. Another self-styled “Christian nationalist” calling for civil war was, in fact, an interconnected cluster of Nigerian operators. A third account, famous for its viral threads accusing Israel of “genocide,” traced back to a single apartment block in Bangladesh." )

The terrifying thing about all this is the effect it is having on society . . . the weakest minds are falling for it and acting on it! 

From using grape soda to clean your floors . . . to physical violence against someone they are taught to hate FOR NO REASON.

I personally am OVER the media whores . . . 

I'd rather not be infected with mental illness by those who in their own insanity can't pay the rent without your reaction.



🎶 . . . a genuine example
of a social disease . . .🎶

I only engage with my people on Social Media.  I just won't be baited for the division bull crap.

Candice, you captured something a lot of us have been feeling but struggle to put into words. The flood of made-up content online has turned basic scrolling into a minefield, and it is exhausting. The sad part is how quickly the nonsense spreads and how easily it pulls people into arguments that were engineered to trigger them.

Authentic voices and real professionals get buried in the noise while the trolls profit from chaos. Your reminder to look deeper and protect our own peace is spot on. I have learned to hit block and move on rather than give strangers the reaction they are trolling for.

 

Thank you for calling this out. Staying grounded in truth and integrity is the only way to rise above the circus.

Yup! My block list has always been long but nowadays it's longer than a CVS receipt with all the coupons! LOL

Good afternoon Candance,

OMG..you make too much sense and just called our what many of are seeing. I ditto everything Gwen Fowler SC Lakes & Mountains 864-710-4518 said when she commented on your post!

Yup! LOL you've heard Barbara Todaro use the figure of speech "When God was a child" meaning WAYYYYY forever ago . . . I used that line which I love, some bimbo went off on me and she really tried! She told me I was mentally ill -- accused me of making things up -- and that she was an atheist. LOL I looked at her profile and she's about 20 years old from where cousins can marry with 8 followers, I was like girl you're gonna have to do a lot better start with going back to third grade! UN-TAG myself, block and delete! The 'untagging' if they tag you is important so others don't try to pile on ya .  . . 

Just goes to show old age and treachery beats youth and stupidity every time! 😄

It drives me crazy that so many people lie these days, and even crazier that so many people seem to believe the lies, haha.

People are willing to accept and program themselves with lies they cannot even explain or justify - to belong.

It's just ridiculous that this even happens - but not surprising at all. What I find crazy is how many people just believe every single thing they read. "But I saw it online!" without even thinking about whether what they read makes any sense at all.

And when we go to a 'previously reliable source' like Google' to verify something we know IS TRUE - and there's no entry confirming it. Between the guys wanting to swerve the world and the guys paying for division, it takes pretty strong critical thinking skills and skepticism not to fall into the psyop that is deliberate and EVERYWHERE!

Almost identical! LOL but instead of paying for love, it's hating for pay!

Candice- this is a HUGE problem. I just heard a short segment about this on a station I do listen to. And yes, the shame is that many take what they read as fact..whether it's information about a person or product. More and more pictures are coming into question as being AI. 

Something I do, if it looks interesting, is look at the first comment. Often, a reader calls them out. 

Nov 29, 2025 12:57 PM
Candice A. Donofrio

Right! The comments will probably contain at least a few telling the OP to quit with the junk!

Expert guidance. Exceptional results.

You’ve shined a light on a tough truth, Candice A. Donofrio 🙂. The way you broke down the tactics and impact makes this post both eye-opening and valuable, and I’m grateful you shared it. It’s the kind of reminder that helps people stay alert and think twice before engaging!

Yeah it's real tempting to jump in but scrolling past is often better for the common good! Some platforms recommend muting rather than blocking bc some of the troll farms will give credit for a block! THEN since you come up as blocking them in their notifications, they can then target you. It's a lot like scam/spam mail lists!

Good morning Candice. Once upon a time when I was thinking about involvement in social media and selected to follow you, a wise unnamed woman warned me that you say what is on your mind so I should proceed with caution. I opted in any way and have never been disappointed. You just said, once again what many have been thinking. Thanks! Enjoy your day.

The internet has made it so easy for the crap to be shared and it takes a keen nose to differentiate truth from lies.

I am so glad Kathy Streib featured your post in her Sunday post Candace.  I too am so sick of all this BS online.  I block so much stuff these days and have zero time for all the blatant lies and made up crap. If more people would stop listening and getting sucked into all the hate and nonsense we'd all be a lot better off.  Follow the money...... and cut them off at the pass.

Yeah, I suspect eventually the 'pay for engagement' well will run dry and I wonder what the top paid trolls are gonna do without that paycheck (most of them don't make 'that much' but a few do!)

It's eye opening how many entities are using rage bait to fill their coffers, BB. I see it online, everywhere. At least on X, you can now see where they are posting from. Kudos to Elon!

Yep, Elon did well outing the real identities of these morons!
