Faked numbers game

Worrying about who gets on the front page, which is gameable. Ain't worth the time.

How do I know those numbers are faked to get on the home page of social media? With all the fake detection bots, bots and other “services” of automated racers to the bottom?

How do I know? Along with it being unfit and unprofessional for me to accuse. I don't have complete certainty as within any fair trial. Yet, I don't fret others about it. There's still room for reasonable doubt.

I don't know. Nor do I spend time speculating.

There have been cases of faked publicity though, especially within the book publishing industry to get on the New Yorker bestseller list, the game of status roles and envy are way worse than here. That's to not even to say about politics and journalism.
“I merely wrote/did the best performance and it was so intrinsically good it organically flourished through word or mouth, to win the best academia awards”

These platforms, even faked, matter.

Yeah, there's no complete certainty with that, better to connect with a tribe instead than to bother with that cesspool. Trying to figure how the who-gets-on-the-front-page game ain't a game worth playing, rather than making work that matters.
