It’s not so much disinformation that is the problem, it’s the ad industry itself.

Disinformation pretty much always been a thing but the modern advertising network is what makes it a huge problem for society right now and moving forward

Well, it’s probably a blend of many things. The ad industry (and the web in general?) is completely broken, but for disinformation to be spreading you need malicious actors exploiting the system and trying to benefit from this. It’s a human thing at its core imo.

Definitely a human thing, there will always be humans trying to exploit any given system, it’s seemingly innate to our species
