> The top comment mentions something called "Dead Internet Theory": the belief that most online interactions are automated loops of bots communicating with eachother.
That's what a bot would say!
But seriously, I think we'll see some social networks start pushing a "verified human" tag soon enough... if it wasn't for the fact they earn tons of money from bots that provide a steady supply highly upvoted / impressed / engaged with / ad view generating content.
I wouldn't at all be surprised if Reddit itself is behind bot networks. But we'd need a whistleblower to verify that conspiracy theory.

Yes, I am aware of this theory fairly well.
