Artificial ignorance is a way to hack people bc everyone can come to the ignorant one's rescue. Very manipulative kinda like a damsel in distress. nostr:npub12rze589jx0gg6kslkjfl2gxxkhtlw73t5shyve5qrglrv6c2qflqejj7ns might have some thoughts on this too.

Yes, exactly. Humans like to feel smarter/superior to others, so individuals use this to their advantage to drive engagement and to form relationships with their targets.
Many people on social media will pretend to be ignorant, or will post things that are obviously inaccurate, or downright false, to get engagement on their posts. People love to "dunk" on others, or point out how much smarter they are, with little knowledge/regard of what is actually happening.
