>Or is 85% of /v/ just bots now?
more than 85% of the internet *is* robot shit.
Think about this: Do you really think YouTube is telling the truth to its "investors" about how much traffic it gets? That the advertisement clicks are entirely legitimate? That the system is immune to bad actors who want to tamper with things?
The vast majority of internet traffic is used specifically to prop up false advertisement revenue. YouTube doesn't bitch and moan about adblock extensions for web browsers because it means that fewer "people" will click on advertisements. YT bitches and moans because doing anything else will expose the scam they've been pulling for years when advertisers ask physical people "Do you click on ads?" and then the numbers they get from the real physical people on the street don't match the numbers from YT.
I will argue that 1% to 0% of human traffic ever clicks on advertisements. How do advertisers gauge awareness? Web traffic. How do websites measure web traffic, to tell advertisers how much "time" their advertisement was viewed for, thus making the viewer aware of their products? Well, how far can you throw them to represent as far as you can trust them?
That's where the scam for robot users comes in. Computers tampering with other computers just to synthesize the web page viewer hours count. Use robot farms from china (they'll gladly take your business... and make it their own) and the other turd-world "people" by giving them phones with internet access before things like basic social stability and fundamental living conditions.
Knock out the electrical power to *certain* nations on this planet, and the amount of internet traffic will drop by an inhumanly disproportional degree.
The internet is >85% bots, and bot-like "humans"
