I can't disagree with this enough. Adjust a story's position in the trending page here fiddle with with the frontpage news articles on the facebook ticker there. Sure for an individual its a minuscule effect as their eyes brush past in in a split second but multiply this by billions of pairs of eyeballs every day all throughout the day over the years and it starts to add up. Its an incredibly insidious power. Its no accident we've suddenly found ourselves in the most libtard Age in history now that Silicon Valley is in charge.

I think I have underscored the effect as well. Well, can't be right all the time (/s). Had some convo with another guy and realized I probably was betraying the law of large numbers here. Even just a percent swing vote in a few key states changes things. That's my bad for simplifying things too much.
