For science

I saw an anti-Trump post from 13 hours ago that already had 44,500 likes and over 2,800 comments.

I opened up the thread and noticed the number of engaged users was in a nosedive - down to 132 active viewers and falling (139 at the time of the screenshot below)

So I went to Gemini and asked for a standard social media velocity analysis of the expected viewer count.

Behold the differences:



It concluded that 88.8% of all activities had to be bot-driven.

90% of social media is bot driven. Whether carbon-based or silicon-based ... Edward Bernays is Hella jealous

Proceed accordingly

Reddit is one of the main platforms feeding LLMs - they love UGC. Same with Quora.

The problem is both of those platforms are using AI to create posts for engagement; and also use them in the comment section. Training the machine off the machine
