A huge amount of the toxic online content comes from only a few people.

A mere 0.1% of users originate 80% of fake news.

Twelve accounts, aka the “disinformation dozen”, created most of the Facebook vaccine misinformation during the pandemic.

The only games I know of that ain't are #FarCry4, #WatchDogs and #Titanfall...

  • TBH, Titanfall on the #Xbox360 is just impressive, tho being #Online - #Multiplayer-only it's kinda dead, but still impressive that it even runs as they literally stream stuff from HDD & DVD at the same time!

Not to mention basically all the #Games for the 360 still work. One may not be able to buy new DLCs and stuff but even if #Microsoft yeets it's #Multiplayer support, one will still be able to enjoy the games for the foreseeable future.

  • Again, Titanfall is the only game I know that is strictly Online-Multiplayer - only.
