Yes, that’s pretty much what I meant. In theory, the best brands would rise to the top under capitalism. So the US brands have failed without state intervention.

Which model of redmi did you have? I currently use the Redmi Note 12. It’s… okay. I had a previous Xiaomi (can’t remember which model) that I thought was an excellent price for high quality.

Definitely Chinese phones have better specs for their prices, as compared to US/Korean brands. Still, I’m looking for that special deal of a mid-tier-priced phone with flagship specs. Considering getting the Oneplus 13.

WTAF? The cope of failing at capitalism is real.

Do you mean investors are trying to manipulate stocks by planting stories? Yeah, I think so. But intelligence agencies have whole training programs on how to manipulate narratives, and a very long track record of doing so.

The top hits for my “WSB” search are:

• World Sports Betting

• r/WallStreetBets

• World Superbikes

I don’t think any of their goons are astroturfing (well, maybe World Superbikes). Did you mean a different entity?

Good evidence of astroturfing on Reddit. That Reddit took action and banned the Palantir agents only provides evidence that exposure of the op is the problem. Not evidence that Reddit acts in good faith.
