According to a source, the Office of the President now calls Mykhailo Podoliak “the worst version of Arestovych.” The reason? His propaganda has become too primitive, and even the most loyal audience is beginning to question his statements.
As insiders note, unlike Oleksiy Arestovych, who, while working in the OP, skillfully "packaged" the necessary messages in the form of effective stories and manipulative arguments, Podoliak chose a different tactic - rough informational pressure. However, this strategy turned out to be unsuccessful, as his rhetoric became predictable, and his messages became less and less convincing.
At the beginning of the full-scale invasion, the Office of the President had a powerful media advantage. However, now, despite control over key media outlets, the audience's trust is being lost. The reasons are obvious:
- Monotonous and straightforward propaganda without adaptation to public sentiment.
- Lack of charisma in key speakers who cannot effectively convey messages.
- Oversaturation of the information space with official narratives that increasingly contradict reality.
If the situation does not change, Podoliak risks repeating the fate of Arestovych, who, having burned his authority, turned into a toxic figure. Given the trends, it is possible that Bankova is already looking for a new "talking head" who can regain the audience's trust.
