Can you please provide evidence that shows that AfD engagement and traffic was not out of the ordinary during the start of the blackout? I am not saying that this was or wasn't the case but I haven't seen any evidence yet either way. So which evidence am I supposed to reject for the party?

    Were you not on any of the platforms they target? Youtube alone became drastically less problematic in content and comments. That's the evidence they want you to deny, it happened and it was really obviously different.

    My Youtube is heavily sanitised and I avoid the horrendous search function. It barely finds what you are looking for anyway and is full of minimal effort slop and propaganda. If the latter decreased I could not say. I am not a masochist.

    Mine is as well, but that's never stopped youtube from trying to push far right/manosphere/conspiracy theory garbage at me I then have to block and remove from my history. Until the Russian data centers got blown up when it stopped like someone turned off a faucet.
