Like, let's say you find a birdwatching group of people on Instagram or on Twitter.
Like, what are the odds that those people are going to be bots?
There's no benefit financially or otherwise.
you know coming exactly like so if you go after bird i use bird watchers because i see them all the time you know that's like the purest form of just this is what they're into great group yeah great group of people but there's no financial incentive to support or deny bird watching
So if you go to the birdwatcher group on Twitter, yeah, it's probably 5% bots because they're fucking everywhere.
But I guarantee if you go to abortion or if you go to immigration or if you go to anything that's a hot button controversial, ice raids, whatever it is.
Any hot button controversial subject, there's a shit ton of them, man.
And it's kind of creepy because who is paying for it?
Who's paying for it and how come we don't have any laws to stop that from happening?
You're getting this artificial sense of what the general public wants because they've monetized it and they figured out a way to artificially inflate these numbers.
And I think we were with this, which is beautiful.
