69 - What Is The Dead Internet Theory?

from Bring On The Questions Hosted by BringOn TheQuestions

It almost seemed like we weren’t supposed to be talking about this. We skipped a week. It happens. Then we recorded one evening only to discover, after talking for an hour and a half, that the recording stopped 41 seconds into it. We tried again the next evening and again the recording stopped at about 57 seconds. We checked that time. The app was put into a deep sleep mode automatically somehow and it would just turn off even if it was actively recording. We got through that and were finally able to record the whole episode. Could the machines be actively keeping human generated content off the internet? Surely not. According to some kind of test it has been determined that more than 50% of the activity on the internet is generated by automated systems as opposed to human interaction. We won’t pretend to know how those tests work, but it does make some sense if you really think about it. 1s and 0s looking at other 1s and 0s and telling other 1s and 0s they looked at them and somewhere some bank account gets some more digits added to it because some other bank account lost some digits. Thus, The Dead Internet Theory is quite plausible. #BringOnTheQuestions #Podcast #DeadInternet #OvertonWindow #ChatBots You can go to https://linktr.ee/botqs or linktree.com/botqs to find links to the many places Bring On The Questions can be found around the internet.
