Makes you wonder how many bots are on here ...

Business Insider article

quote:

Carnegie Mellon University researchers analyzed over 200 million tweets discussing COVID-19 and related issues since January and found that roughly half the accounts — including 62% of the 1,000 most influential retweeters — appeared to be bots, they said in a report published this week.

The researchers said they found that among tweets about "reopening America," 66% came from accounts that were possibly humans using bot assistants to spread their tweets more widely, while 34% came from bots.

I assume almost all of Twitter is bots.

I would also guess similar figures for pro-shutdown accounts.

Exactly. Twitter is almost all bots on every issue.

You're probably correct, however this will not be studied, and if it is, buried.

Anything that doesn’t fit a certain narrative gets pegged as Russian bots.

My dog is smarter than blue checks and she thinks her own a-hole is worth a lot of attention.

A lefty’s definition of a bot is their same definition of a raycesst. Anyone that disagrees with them.

And far fewer bots and racists exist than lefties believe.

Another case of projection, since Twitter commies deploy a shite ton of bots on their platform...some even have blue checks!

So are they saying up to 100% of the tweets were bots?
