The pizza report is very annoying to me. It’s a trivial thing for any interested party ( few thousand dollars) to sway up when they want to bring attention to an action the pentagon is doing, and has been such a measure for so long that it’s (in my opinion) ridiculous to still follow it as a source for actual activity. Maybe I should start manipulating it myself.
- lazystar 9mo agowell, they definitely had an operation tonight to get maduros. maybe the pizza activity is more from the reporters and news crews tgat need to pull a late night shift?
- hhh 9mo agoI believe that state actors have put in the relatively low amount of effort to use android device farms to manipulate this statistic. I believe it hasn’t been relevant outside of seeing what the state wants to signal. I also believe individuals can do it as well, since it’s just phones reporting to google maps where they are. You see businesses in tourist cities that are dead empty with massive reviewbots and it showing as a ‘busy place’ as well.
