| Propaganda is an integral part of the EVE Online experience - nearly every alliance, large and small, employs some form of it - from low effort reddit memes to epic video productions, propaganda adds fuel to the flames of war. Test Alliance is famous (or infamous depending on who you ask) for some of the best propaganda production there is. From the smallest of local spam to the greatest of Ministry of Truth video epics, nearly any skill can contribute to the propaganda sphere. | Propaganda is an integral part of the EVE Online experience - nearly every alliance, large and small, employs some form of it - from low effort reddit memes to epic video productions, propaganda adds fuel to the flames of war.

| Low effort memes are most often in the form of images, but sometimes in the form of short, crudely-edited videos as well. These are typically quick jobs whipped up in response to something happening real-time in-game to farm reddit karma (or downvotes if you're just bad at posting). These posts embody the "shitpost" aspect of propaganda. | Low effort memes are most often in the form of images, but sometimes in the form of short, crudely-edited videos as well.

| High effort memes are often images with far more "effort" put into them than low effort memes. These tend to involve extensive artwork, hand-drawn/painted imagery, and advanced image editing. They can also take the form of video edits that go above and beyond the "crude edit" style. These often look like more "professional" propaganda posters that are often directly related to a given active conflict but can also be used for general recruitment or meme purposes. While a low effort meme is generally subject to the whims of whoever is "winning" reddit, high effort memes tend to garner respect for the amount of effort put in, even if the viewer is on the opposite side. | High effort memes are often images with far more "effort" put into them than low effort memes.
