Your point is moot.

Inject 100k on a fake news items like "The pope is a paedofile" for instance and see the whole world talking and reposting it the next day.

Spend a billion promoting something real but boring and you might see almost non-existent tracktion.

By definition disinformation and destabilization campaigns are 1000x more effective, especially if organized by entities specializing on those for decades.
