> Attempting to label these so people aren't manipulated by it is something that deserves praise.

it's pretty incredible how we went from "give people the benefit of the doubt" to "people are manipulated".

I admit I could have phrased it better. What I implied is that the end result has been that people got manipulated by such techniques (which I don't blame them for, as these methods have been engineered to be extremely persuasive and credible-looking).

I did not imply that everyone was de-facto manipulated by those. Only that it can already happen.
