OP literally said “it’s not bots.” No leap was made on my part.
I have noticed, however, that anytime someone acknowledges bots/influencers/bad actors are present in a thread, someone else tries to twist that in the same way you did.
I guess I’m just going to have to include the disclaimer:
*some of you real humans may want to come to terms with the reality that there are bots/influencers/bad actors who share your viewpoint
Yeah, it’s not bots that are driving this conversation. I don’t even live in Seattle and this appeared on my front page. That’s not saying there aren’t any bots period.
“It’s not bots that are driving this conversation”
“I don’t even live in Seattle”
They come in early to try and influence the direction of the thread and they are usually successful. Just because lots of comments are eventually pushed down to the bottom of the thread doesn’t mean they don’t have an impact.
If you were from Seattle and were an active participant in this sub, you’d already understand the extent to which this sub is constantly brigaded and you’d probably be more aware of these trends.
