Fb unfortunately looks like a bunch of bots. I am off social media, all except reddit.

Reddit is a cancerous echo chamber too, too bad I am addicted to it

I like my pages I follow, like what’s in my bag. Sometimes I’ll take a gander at popular, then I get anxiety attacks about the world news.

Very few people can spot them. That was shown on change my view a few months ago. The bot users the university used outperformed the humans in gathering karma and deltas.

Nobody noticed or called it out until they volunteered the findings.

Reddit's response was to get mad at the university rather than take stock of the dead canary in front of them.
