with algorithms pushing it down.
And this is what he's suggesting.
He's suggesting
That this is where we're going.
Now he does give some suggestions of how we could fight it, obviously, encrypted peer-to-peer communication software.
He goes into a few other things because he talks about how that image boards are originally the Wild West and how they're kind of the last stand on normal internet for people to have kind of nuanced conversations.
But he's
That even those are getting botted to death.
And he said there's he doesn't know.
how much that they'll actually be able to fight this in the long run.
Now, what's also interesting a part of this thread that he wrote, and this is something I've talked about in the past, is the idea
Of algorithmic filter bubbles.
I don't know if you've heard of this or not.
This is very interesting.
And X is a big proponent of this system.
Now, obviously, bot spamming can be used to derail conversations, can be used to divide and conquer.
We see that all the time online, where you may put something out there or a comment out there, and then you're immediately responded on by the opposite, and he creates a change.
