Survivorship bias is a clever tool as manipulated by 4chan, especially pol. 1. Make tons of crazy predictions. 2. People screenshot them. 3. The threads eventually autodelete. 4. When any of them come true, share the predictions that worked. 5. Pol is always right.

While true, Twitter's treated the exact opposite way. Bad predictions and lying are screen-shotted. It's seen as highly dishonest to delete one's tweet after it's wreaked havoc and pretend it never happened, so users are forever saddled with them.

In /pol's case, nobody has high expectations for a bunch of anons. So the lie dies when it's allowed to, or written off by outsiders as some form of evil or another.
