>>509557157 (OP)LLMs enable even the smallest teams to have disproportionate impact, at this point everyone is aware of /pol/'s (relative) influence in the anglosphere, and there's lots of money dedicated to media/psyop purposes now more than ever.
There's also the phenomenon of Eternal September, which has been in effect here even before LLMs. I think most of the veterans here would agree Chanology was the beginning of the end. And don't forget the extreme fuckery around Assange and Wikileaks. I don't even know how newer users will ever learn about most of what happened/may have happened, unless they systematically dig through lots of archives. Even then the fuckery with archive sites when Assange's canary went off was a whole thing I've never heard or seen a good conclusion about.
Unfortunately I think it's still the best we have. It's getting harder to tell who is still human and non-semitic around here. We have threads along these lines from time to time, one of the few times you see more human posters than shills and bots.
tl;dr yes
