There's been a whitewash in the media over the past couple days over what the U.S.'s role in the world is, and the fact that they kill hundreds of thousands of people per year to protect profit. Now how can I get to the point where I could be saying that on the world stage, and interrupt the lies that CBS, CNN, NBC, and everyone is saying? In my view, that [would be] by keeping the cover. Not because I think by looking at the cover you get all of this message that I'm telling you, but as a way to have a platform to interrupt the stream of lies that are being told right now.

This is almost becoming my pet project, but I think a lot of it can be attributed to a sort of fundamental irrationality in "the algorithm" that is self-reinforcing. Especially since this trend came from Tik Tok, which has refined its algorithm to a T.

Like at some point an algorithm saw that people stayed .05 seconds longer on Tik Toks with "POV" in the title, and they started pushing those videos to peoples pages. And then some people saw that videos with POV in the title get 20% more views and start putting POV in all their titles no matter the relevance, and the algorithm picks that up, etc etc.
