  • In the context of ongoing debates over the role and nature of bots, Pew Research Center set out to better understand how many of the links being shared on Twitter are being promoted by bots rather than humans. Our analysis found that an estimated two-thirds of tweeted links to popular websites are posted by automated accounts - not human beings.

    Bots everywhere on twitter. These bots are killing twitter . Identifying bots is important for twitter to live years. Unless you didnt solve this problem twitter will be deserted to bots.

    I hear more and more about bots these days. The first time I ever communicated with a custom bot was in Quake 3. It sometimes responded with questions or just did a good job mimicking a person. I was simply trying to play a game and the server just happened to have custom bots on it. My computer got hacked back in the days of the BSOD and no reboot was saving it. I had no idea what I stumbled across but I actually gave up gaming for years after that behavior. Some one got pretty malicious over a video game.

    I noticed some news accounts posting the same article link at different time in one or several days. I think it is the bot and it is OK.

      IMHO, if that were to happen then you should examine you life.

    But not, because Elon Musk is a super genius and he knows much better than all of you scientists. He analysed 100 random twitter followers of him and he says that almost all twitter users are bota because it is impossible that most of his followers behave as stupid bots.

      you never had bot attacking your twitter, ive experienced thousands crypto bot, nft bot and scam link bot attacking my twitter daily because i always said crypto is a scam, nft is a scam and other stuff, once they tracked you, you cant escape, i got my twitter hacked twice and they promoting nft in my twitter, if you think the amount of bot is less than any other platform, well youre wrong

      @@sussy_61 With 5% of bots that are at least in average 10 times more active than humans, then 50% of all activity in the platform is done by bots. The percentage of how many bots is irrelevant, in my previous comment i was being sarcastic, Musk is definitely not a genius .
