Depending on the subject, CN is frequently a second vector for disinformation now as well. Posts that are clearly disinformation, from the right account, almost seem to have their supporting CNs lined up in advance. It feels a little organised, or at least a bit pretend-stochastic.

Overall CNs are still working but if you're exposed to the pre-helpful stage notes it can either be frustrating or confusing.

Sort of inevitable that as CNs get more valued, the more people will attempt to misuse it.

I only ever 'ok/agree' about 30pc of proposed community notes.

Can you give a couple examples of CN that are “disinformation”?
