  These companies don’t care about combating bots. They don’t even care they’re directly enabling the rise of fascism across the globe. It’s typical short sighted capitalistic greed that’s driving their lust for higher and higher engagement to sell more and more ads. They simply don’t think about that once fascism is fully in place, capitalism goes away and their companies are at the complete mercy of whatever dictator takes over. And since it’s a global phenomenon, there will be no where for them to flee to.

    Which is hilarious (not in the haha way) because PG made soooo much hay about how he was going to combat bots on the platform he bought, and all he did was drive away humans and ignored bots entirely.

        Pedo Guy

        Following Unsworth’s lawsuit, Musk filed a declaration that “pedo guy” is a common insult in South Africa used to insult demeanor and appearances. In court on Tuesday, Musk elaborated by saying, “It’s quite common in the English speaking world. Calling someone a ‘pedo guy’ means creepy. If you did a search or asked someone what it means it would be a creepy.”

      The bots aren’t a problem if no humans have to listen to them

  My idea for it is a social network that heavily relies on webcam-recorded opinions and the occasional hand-written letter.

  Yes, that’s super high-friction and inconvenient. I’d argue social media has become so lazy, incorporating effort into it might improve the experience by changing the quality of posts you see.

  Does Twitter not already use captcha? Captcha is easily beaten by sophisticated bots from what I’ve read
