I don't know about you all, but I'm beyond tired of being carpet bombed with these so-called articles repeating over and over again that (someone) thinks Biden should withdraw. They're not only deafeningly repetitive without offering any valuable information, but often come from questionable sources that we've never heard of before. One of yesterday's examples (now removed) was a tabloid stating an outright lie in the headline.
It's annoying and useless at best, with the common theme of appealing to mob mentality to shape public opinion. It feels exactly like a propaganda campaign aimed at controlling political discourse on social media.
Please stop.
If you are talking about the reliability of common dreams, they are very reliable.
If you are tired of hearing about any specific topic, I heard that you can blacklist words, so posts with this words does not show in your feed.
All my posts are from very reliable sources.
I don't care about influencing people beliefs, in fact I turned off showing upvotes and downvotes in my client(Jerboa for Android). If you are bothered with people seeing this type of posts, you can share any news article you want as long as the source is reliable.
Regardless of what your motives might be, you are contributing to the problem.
And now that I look at your post history, I see you're doing it multiple times per day.
Kindly knock it off.
If it’s too hot for you, get out of the fucking kitchen.
