Received a call from Meta/Instagram yesterday.

They want me to be part of their "influencer and creator" program—whatever that means.

I pointed out that the clips from my podcast went from 100k - 1 million views down to less than 1000 views after I posted a series of clips with Sam Cooper discussing China's global influence.

They claim to have no idea how that happened.

I asked how I could possibly influence anything if nobody can see what I'm posting.

They were a bit perplexed by that question.

I guess China-based cognitive dissonance does make people retarded after all.
