    What happens when they realize it’s all bots?

      They already know it’s mostly bots. They just want to pimp out their human users more. They know they are suckers because they are still on there.

          Yeah they will just be labelling the non connected bot ops. Corporate influence operations, government connected ones, will not be labelled.
