Don’t worry, as a German I was in the same limbo. It’s often because media quotes someone from to political opposition and sells it as facts. Then you have all the boot liker media who treat CDU/CSU as ruling party even though they currently aren’t ruling. Cannabis was also difficult to understand because the law was put in place with delay and strong restrictions.
The same reason as why Spotify does it. Content that they don’t have to pay any royalty for to anyone. They can keep 100% of the ads money. In a few years we’ll find out all these accounts were just created by the platform themselves. Legally.
