Cracker Barrel Outrage Was Almost Certainly Driven by Bots, Researchers Say

Remember when the liberals tried to rebrand Cracker Barrel? That got shut down quickly, thanks to conservatives actually boycotting for real American values and traditions

I mean do you take grievance with that? It’s pretty clear that bots drove the outrage

That seems a little daft. Modern politics is objectively driven by swaths of online bots. That’s the most successful method of social control, it’s why Facebook tried to introduce bots on their platforms officially. They want it to be normalized because it gives them more control over public thought.

Incorrect, the bots saw the trend and sought to capitalize on the attention. That new logo was objectively terrible from a country perspective. Had people not been given a warning and they saw the new logo on their restraints, let’s just say all the lit kerosene lamps would be knocked over
