Just finished reading Clown Land. A book about Andrew Tate. In it a couple of Vice journalists essentially suggest that he became so massive - literally overnight, because of the work that he (creating) and just 2 'media assistants' (spreading) his posts virally. By gaming the outrage/rage post phenomenon, and a small army of followers all re-posting, some of his posts and videos reached billions of re-posts and re-tweets. The authors then go on to say, "imagine this in the hands of political actors with non-benevolent or violent intent"

Chris Wetherell, the Twitter engineer who invented the re-tweet button has said subsequently, that he regrets doing so,  and that it was akin to "Handing a 4 year old a loaded gun"

I've heard thst mountain bikers are stealing all the soil in Scotland and using it to full in gaps in their patios and driveways in England.  They even promote the activity online on SoilTheftWorld, via coded messages about the different methods and tools.

'Uplift' is most obviously a code for a soil heist.
