    Fascinating how many of your videos manage to get so many views but this one that speaks about something that will wake up so many and it only got 1600 views at this time.

      Seems the general public is more into watching useless crap than learning useful things.
      "a 1$ car vs. a $1000000 car".. What a silly topic.. but it scores like a beast.
      I'd say: There is a much bigger audience for stupid nonesense than for informative posts. And the more specialized the publishers are, the audience is getting smaller and smaller. If Dee talked about assembler only, there would be just a few subscribers.
      Some channels i watched before pump out so many videos in a short time, that i decided not to watch them anymore.
      While the videos appear to be made by humans, it is close to impossible to do the research for a(ny) topic in such short time. For me that is a red flag.
      Also, when i never see a human speaking, in none of their videos, i am also sceptic.
      And the number-of-views is another thing i take into account. If a post gets many views in no time, and they are no "well known" influencer (i hate that word), then i do not even want to start the video.

    When I saw that title I thought about twitter. It's bursting at the seams with bots. I keep blocking bots that follow me over and over. I'm not very active on twitter, and I only have one real follower, and I've already blocked over 100 bots in less than 2 months. Most of them are hot chicks with "real" names that follow lots of people and have almost no followers, no posts except maybe some retweets, some of them have a link in their bio, and only a few have no picture.

    It seems like in some very specific topics political bots are obvious when you know that they exist. One such weirdly specific topic is California High Speed Rail, where bots, or users who are against HSR who has picked up from the bots, post fake arguments like that it does nothing (yeah, it's not fully built yet, similar to that you can't live in a house if it's only partially built) or that "no rails have been laid" (which is very near the final parts of building it).

    • @sepg5084

      They do not allow it, it's just not that simple to eliminate. And very few bother to report bots.
      When someone breaks into your home, does it automatically mean you "allowed" them in?

    • @Th3-Mast3rmind

      It's a difficult situation of cat and mouse. The bots are responsible for promoting content on social media platforms. Businesses pay these "agencies" to promote their content and rank higher. These "agencies" will then assign these bots to like or interact with their content. I've worked for a company that did this. Eventually, Google's algorithm will catch up

    • @Daijyobanai
      @Daijyobanai 11 дней назад

      reddit wants a high share price, a high share price also sells advertising space at a higher price. Part of the strategy to achieve this is to have a high number of active users. If no-one can prove 70% of active users are actually bots, advertisers can be lied to and defrauded. FB and Twitter have pulled this stunt for years. It's why they don't publicise real engagement data, they just "summarise" and give press statement with claims no-one can dispute without seeing the actual data.

    Reminds me of how email traffic reached over 50% spam before spam blockers began to become popular. I’ve seen claims that the volume of messages is now even higher, but they get blocked more quickly, these claims however are made by the companies that make spam blocker software so may be inflated. Where I work about 30% of incoming email is flagged as spam, phishing or other malicious content at our network edge, so it’s still pretty high.

    It doesn't matter whether account is bot or not. Even before LLMs there were engagement markets and paid boosts. Real people also were malicious. What matters is, that now this practice is much cheaper, so one can safely assume that an average comment is malicious. So individual interaction did not change, statistics did.

      Just like the yt bot that often deletes my comments which are not malicious or nasty; your anti-bot bot will end up deleting legitimate accounts. It's a serious problem. I look at your picture and it makes me feel inclined to reply to you but there is nothing to prove you are not a cold and lifeless bot residing in some CPU on a PC owned by a person who doesn't give a fk about anyone. It undermines everything!
