  • I've did too much research on this subject and was losing my mind which is why this video now exist. In this deep dive i go into the origins of the theory and try to find parallels to the real world (well the real internet world (or is it??) ) and explain how this might affect us to this very day. At the end ill also go into what i think. I hope you enjoy this video

    Dead Internet theory is an interest conspiracy, as you claimed, some people does seem to discover repost and the same content...however we gotta understand people do reupload on anything nowadays...

      Reddit is definitely where i've seen it the most, but it's always fun to theorise!

    This is one of those ideas where it is a useful lens to use; you can if you wish, subscribe literally to the theory, or you can understand it as a good description of what it feels like to use an internet which is being eaten alive by unverifiable, flattened bot driven garbage. Lets be honest, it fits well with the NPC meme, where even the "real" people regurgitate stuff all day long. So it may as well be dead internet, because people are acting like zombies.

      Depends on how you define “dead”. University studies recently showed that like 30% of all social media posts are deleted within a year. The two main sources of historical website snapshots are about to not exist. Academic studies have actually shown that a huge portion of modern science and scientific research is part of the “dead” material that cannot be accessed any longer because it isnt being hosted or archived anywhere.

    i think it's strange you know artists who *haven't* drawn porn. i know very few artists who haven't drawn or written it. i think a lot of it has to do with sampling bias and algorithms. not just the art thing but this theory in general. i get bot followers in waves and i always delete them, the people who make the bot farms must see a high rate of blocking from me and other people in my online social sphere, so we get left alone until a new bot farming operation starts up. i think there's something to this idea that a large portion of the internet are bots, but a large portion of online shopping is drop shipping. it's a massive problem but i wouldn't say online shopping is dead, it just depends on what websites you're on and what sort of products you're searching for. bot farms are going to go for the lowest common denominator, and i think the more niche you get or the more of a community you build the harder it is to infiltrate.

    So is there really a purpose behind the "Are you a robot?" prompts anymore? Other than being annoying for the 1% of humans that still reside in the digital realm?

    • @therealfizzberg
      @therealfizzberg  2 месяца назад +2

      I think (and i might be wrong here) that they way it works is that it tracks your mouse cursor and not the actual prompt to see if you're human or not. But my guess is that most websites don't really care anymore cuz its "more traction" - just a theory though

    that original post of the theory sounds exactly like it came from one of the chans... like what was any of that lmaooo. like theres definitely concern to be had about bots and ai shit taking over, but i think people are being dramatic af with 'THE INTERNET IS DEAD/DYING' like shut uppp the internet will only be dead when all of our computers explode

      If you say most of the Internet is real that means that eventually it will be all created by AI and machines just give it time. Why can't that time be right now ?

      @@ultravioletiris6241 honestly fair point, I’m a very social person irl and online so I’m probably more naturally drawn to spaces online where there are real people. But on the other hand I think people underestimate the ability of real life people to act like complete bots online. Lots of people are horrible at forming ideas and opinions to a level where it would be easy to mistake them for an ai based on one interaction
