    Good grief this is depressing:

    TL:DW - Social media advertisers are paying people to make pro-Nazi videos because these drive engagement from their target audience of rich white people. (This obviously isn't the only reason bigotry is online, but this advertising money is pouring lots more fuel on the fire.)

    GenAI is then making this a million times worse, as it's so cheap and easy to swamp platforms with propaganda.

    Perhaps engagement-based monetisation/advertising needs to be banned? It is literally paying people to promote the most evil horrific things possible.
