The dogs working at DOGE haven't the idea on what are they looking at and are lying to cover it. I wouldn't count on them exposing anything but their asses.

I think your best bet is to organize it "secret santa" style in an open format where people won't necessarily suspect that everyone but them is a paid actor.

There must have been studies on this. Putting money into the mix is a bad idea IMO.

It's more an experiment whether people will trust the rando running this.

Also, if you want to try this make sure of the legality of your "experiment" because inevitably someone will snitch on you.

Is there a way to remove the author trust factor? I suppose you'd have to pay in crypto to keep it anonymous, and this app would give you a random QR for a strangers wallet. How can you confirm that it's not the authors wallet, or an alt. Seems tricky.

That said, a donor could do the same thing by dropping cash in an area with high pedestrian traffic, and walking away without looking back. That said, those interested in the data collection aspect would be disappointed by that method.

I don't think paying in crypto increases trust for the regular Joe, maybe Alice and Bob will be more likely to join. This would select a very narrow crowd and skew your results massively.

Unfortunately not as fugly as the Felon Dump-Truck to become an instant punchable offense

I sometimes think my adblocker should very much lie to the page that "yeah, watched that, totally" in an undetectable way.

It takes like a quarter hour to process the entire ad blob on my old machine, and it's over $70k in ads clicked.

Between that and pihole I see very few ads. Being out and watching a yt video is shocking with how many ads there are - and what type.

The people who have nothing interesting to say in a long form format were never worth following anyway.

The people who paid for the campaign rely on cheap immigrant labor, the kind of the american workers wouldn't take unless forced to do so in prison.

The visas are here to stay longer than it would take every MAGA clown to eat their red hat.

Arguably we have the RI-powered uBlock called Piracy

Super universal.

The whose a what?
