A lot of the people who post misinformation have financial incentive to do so. The people who write community notes, which launder the reputation of the platform, do it for free. It's like paying people to litter the streets and hoping that volunteers will tidy some of it up.

@Slatzism Crime (including violent crime) was lower than ever while immigration was higher than ever. If there was any truth to this racist meme, violent crime would have increased. Be careful getting your ‘news’ from engagment bait on X
