My bullshit-o-meter is pegged at 11.
I've been on reddit lately and I'll eat my shoe if that 50% increase was in any way actual real humans, because there's no damn way.
At this point I'm pretty sure it's bots all the way down. And whatever isn't a bot is someone pretending to be someone else or some other BS.
Lmao seriously, these investors have clearly never been on Reddit
So my experience aligns to this as well, but I have to say, while there’s plenty of evidence of bot traffic and overall lack of “content”…
There is ZERO evidence that matters. If a business model can be created to take advantage of that fact then your (I’ll also say OUR) argument of people vs bots is irrelevant and this is your new internet… unless you have an investor in your back pocket they are dictating tomorrow not anyone’s desire for real shit.
Their stock prices soar, trump is elected, we all keep saying “but what if X” hoping in a dependency while others say fuck that and make up tomorrow in their own.
