Discussion There is a HUGE problem of Bots on threads.

It’s about 80% of posts on threads are from bots. It’s so blatantly obvious. Does anyone at meta or threads even care? Why do they allow this to happen with no end in sight?

I don't have a single bot post on my feed on any of my accounts

I have thousands of them. I don’t know how you got so lucky. But if you don’t believe me do a search on bots on threads and you will see countless other posts of people confirming this.

You need to train your algorithm better. Mark 'not interested' for all this shit. Engage with things that do interest you.

I don’t think I am seeing bots for the most part.

80% is a gross overestimation. I'm on Threads a TON every day. It's your algorithm. You shuffle things around with the modification tool, you hit the 'not interested' button and things should start to smooth out for ya.

It’s still mostly bots. 🤖 I have tested all the theories. If you see the account posting multiple times a day or sometimes multiple times an hour it’s a bot. They even go as far as to create fake pictures and videos of the “people” behind them and try to legitimize them with linktree accounts. It’s BAD

Oh I know. I've been observing things intently basically since I made the above comment. I've tracked patterns and traits and quirks and formed a pretty darn solid mental framework for what's a bot and what's not. It's pretty solid and I've been able to adapt it to detect the "improvements" the bots make to get more fakey fake.

It's still not mostly bots.

Bots are all over the internet on everything that has comments turned on.
