The internet is getting more and more infested with bots. Look at any social media site and you’ll see bots just spewing pure brainrot. Thats if their not spewing propaganda of either side.
SS: Just randomly came across this and thought it was interesting. Imagine thousands of these mixed in with a few real users in every sub
It’s going to suck when the bots get smarter and we can’t pick them out as well, right now they stand out so easily. I feel like in a few years they will be undetectable…
SAD
I’ve been a mod of a sub for years…. Only in the last few years have I’ve been finding weird bots in the spam folder. Most of them are trying to sell something somewhat related to the sub. There are also accounts that are automatically flagged as spam.
But on a sub like this… I imagine it’s harder to filter them out as the bots aren’t really selling anything but are spreading hate/extreme ideas or are made to downvote/name call posts that go against whatever their agenda is.
When you refresh the “new” posts on this sub, it seems like most posts are automatically downvoted, even the interesting/ well thought out and researched posts.
