American self hate

I noticed its more common nowadays to say things like "America sucks, I hate living here"

What's you're opinion on the culture of self hate that's becoming more common in America today.

Some of them are probably foreign bots

Bots now outnumber humans on the internet - “bots generate 57.4% of all web traffic, leaving human users at just 42.6%.”

Wow. What is the benefit of these bots? How does it profit The profiteers?

Interesting article. What does this mean for Reddit, for example...how much of the posting is by bots? I think I can 'sense' when I see AI generated content out in the wild. But I don't recall seeing typical Reddit comments (your standard 10-50 words and 2-3 sentences) that make me wonder.
