⚡️🤖 WATCH - AI controlled Bot Farm.

100s of them tossing 1000s of comments and postings designed to agitate you. Polarize you. Offend you.

Disempowering you.

We are relatively spared on Nostr for the moment, but this is clearly observable on X or Facebook.

Why do the platforms allow this? Because it pads their numbers? Who pays for these? #asknostr

Not sure about that

This makes me think.

Do they even need real phones to do that? Wtf..? Are those really for bots or something else?

Perhaps to get around certain blockages

I'd say they're running some mobile plan and using native browsers controlled via remote desktop. All just to mimick real users.

Not sure what these are being used for but the first thing it made me think of is how providers and OEMs who are too freaking stingy to include a charger with your new phone are unusually generous with trade-in credit for your old device.

That is nuts! .... not the good kind we've come to know around here.

Similarly, Amazon knowingly allows the selling of unvetted fake products, e.g. vitamin pills etc

The platforms allow this for the same reason they allow astroturfers & ban me

Don't know what's confusing about that for you

The free relays are already full of spam and bots. Stick to paid relays and we will be fine.

And when they come for Nostr, what's the plan?
