some of it is politically/ideologically/self-interest-motivated
some of it is just people glancing at a thing, forming an impression, and not caring to investigate further
some of it is people interacting with the thing indirectly via people from the first two categories; some subset of them then take a glance at the PauseAI website or whatever, out of curiosity, form an impression (e.g. whether it matches what they’ve heard from other people), don’t care to investigate further
Making slogans more ~precise might help with (2) and (3)
