    According to the latest quarterly earnings, there has been increase in user engagement. However, I also read somewhere that 15% of engagements are from bots. My suspicion is that, in spite of the tiny minuscule amount of fake users posing as genuine, these bots create inflammatory comments to trigger and drive real users into responding more and thereby inflate user engagement and algorithms. These small amount of bots create a snowball effect of increasing user participation. So, in essence, the level of user engagement is fake and inflated.

    Spez knows what he’s doing. He is talking to the tech bros to get ideas on how to amass power and now he’s one of them billionaires.

      I really doubt it’s only 15% anymore, the internet is dead and social networks are leading the charge in that.
