Social media can be used as a Trojan horse to spread messages and influence users. An experiment showed that posting certain types of content on social media could significantly shift users' opinions on various topics within a short time period, with over 75% of engagement happening within the first 30 minutes and another 10-15% in the following 30 minutes. The types of content that generated the most engagement were those that appealed to users' interests in ladders, food, family, and tailgating rather than more extreme topics.
