re: Years ago I told the admins that people were paid to post here as left wing opposition

Wow...you think the Tiger Rant polo board is a thought leader and influences the national discourse? Who are the people with money that give a rat’s arse about what is posted on Tiger Rant? Why would they care?

During the election cycle tigerdroppings (poliboard specifically. Just one board) was a top 100/50 most visited site in the world for a year.

During that time there were multiple occasions where a brand new bot account would appear, and post links in all sorts of boards that were political links. I can think of this happening at least 10 times.

I almost agree that JJDOC was a paid poster for a while. Dude just stayed after.

There were multiple left wingers who only appeared during the election. Posted left wing bs during the cycle (usually all parroting eachother) who seemingly disappeared right after the election.

If you do not think this site was not targeted you are dead wrong. This stuff happened at a lesser level during the midterms. I expect fully for it to happen again during this cycle.

This board has many posters that I can easily tell go to the chan's, and here. This overlap (I used to call this board /pol/ lite in 2016) definetly garnered interest. Probably some believed this was almost some kind of back up board to them (which it isnt.)

I've had suspicions that because of this that it isn't also watched similarly like the chan's are by agencies. Just not nearly as much. There is far less likely to be a psycho on here, but this board is a much better representation of the American zeitgeist than the chan's are. The chan's are where the zietgiests pull is coming from. This place is where the current American zeitgeist resides. It is uncensored for the most part in comparison to most big politic forums. Which to big tech is unacceptable.
