  1. Trolls are easy to spot. They start with an obvious lie then try to back it up with propaganda. Someone with a varying opinion simply states what they believe to be true. I can even see their point of view most times.

  2. There are all sorts of ways to battle disinformation. If you post a comment then a troll/bot zeros in on you, simply copy your post then delete it. Repost your comment with paste for a clean posting. This works on YT not sure about TicTok. The content creator even benefits from this because they still get credit for the deleted comment. Plus the troll/bot won't get paid because their handler hasn't had time to see it. Many of these people communicate & most will learn to leave your comments alone. There are many other techniques to use but I don't want this to be a long comment.

  3. Being a 71 year old man there is little I can do beside donate money & my time. Time is well spent fighting misinformation on YouTube. And it is fun as well. Hope you do well in your struggle in Ukraine & on social media.

  4. Most propagandists aren't very dim at all. They seem dedicated to the dwarf emperor of the Kremlin because they are paid to do so. Once the money flow stops they will stop the rhetoric. Many don't believe in what they say either. LOL!! They are just reading off a script their handler gives them. They have no moral backbone . . . But they aren't necessarily dim witted.
