I genuinely hate X (formerly Twitter)

It also helped that they used data collected by casinos to learn how to addict people to them.

Is that related to neurotransmitters dopamine?

I recall when social media platforms would come, become passe, then disappear.

Then all of a sudden all of these corporate versions started popping up, and didn't disappear.

The reason there are social media platforms is because people use them.

It won't go away. At least not anytime soon.

Yeah, it's a legal addiction.

I know.

It's estimated that 80% of traffic on X is AI-bot.
There are threads where Bots are talking to other bots with no humans participating at all.

Facebook is already using AI-bots to direct and inspire people to react to and click on facebook stuff (I don't even know what it's called) at a rate so high users are complaining about it. And they are saying it will only get worse (Because it works)

Reddit traffic is likely 75-85% AI-bot driven.

As near as anyone can tell Truth Soical is 95% AI-bot and 5% White Supremacist.

AI bots are everywhere, driving marketing and traffic on social media.

We would likely have moved on but for the use of computer driven personal marketing which is putting us all into a news and reality bubble.

This is why I take lithum.

It inhibits dopamine uptake.

Of course, it also turns me into a jerk...

I guess using robots to do "click farm" work was the next step. That makes sense.

I think dopamine is related to pleasure and it’s why some people become addicted to things.

Was an interesting read for a bit.

I guess they needed to put a label on it so they could dismiss it.

Ah yes! I remember hearing about that related to social media! ~~~
