I was looking for a plugin, so people are notified when someone responds to their comment on the blog. This exists now:

fake engagement

It's free.

So a blogger can populate their site with as many comments as they like... in a few seconds.

Damn, free plugin already. YT and IG are infested with AI comments but I assumed it is paid service, same as likes and subscriptions.

Yep. 

But we can tell the difference.

This is a bit freaking. 

A blue tick account posted a string of cartoons under this heading."15 Pictures with Deep Meaning"

 

I thought all the pics were good, so imagine my surprise, scanning fifty comments stating how stupid they are. The post got ZERO support.  Not one person said anything positive.

I think the pics were teed up for this purpose, but imagine being a human.  You post something and a tidal wave of bots tell you you're stupid.

This is an inordinately effective way to quash a human being... because said human being is going to be shadow banned from real people seeing their content.  Whatever you say or think or show or tell, is massively downvoted.

This is the internet today.  This blog is a dinosaur, for sure!
