    Then it’s not engagement. We have to stop this nonsense.

    Also, we need laws making bots that pretend to be real users illegal. We’re heading for some black mirror shit otherwise.

      The platform owners don’t consider engagement to me be participation in meaningful discourse. Engagement to them just means staying on the platform while seeing ads.

      If bots keep people doing that those platforms will keep letting them in.
