Funniest foreign language TV show of all time, lol. I fr had to have subtitles going the whole way but I cried laughing at times. I’m so in love with Saoirse.

In the age of LLMs, it’s pretty well guaranteed that it’s going to be far worse than described in a study from five years ago. Anecdotally, it feels to me like closer to half if not more of the responses I get are engagement bait. It’s not just corpo, a lot of it is government trolls trying to shape opinion, domestic government and foreign governments. I don’t post anymore at all - just read - and that only in my very niche communities that aren’t likely to be targeted for this kind of bullshit.

Which is more likely, that someone made an offhand remark in an attempt to make a joke or that someone believes all corporations exist in China?

Sure if you can get to Beijing.
