Reddit has 13% bots? I dont believe it, reddit is swarmed with engagement farms and auto reply bots
how are they built, farmed ? residential proxies ?
Are you asking how are they built? I wouldnt know, but ive been offered services to engage in reddit marketing
To some extent, having slop in feeds is a platform’s choice, either implicit or explicit. In LI’s case it seems to be explicit since they added a slop button. YouTube has a similar problem with Shorts.
I wrote a post on linkedin last year titled "Do not use AI to write." Boy, was it controversial. I could not believe how hard some people were pushing back in the comments. Quoting from myself there: "When you write your own words, you are forging your own voice. It is distinctive, conveys your unique world view, and connects with others in a way that is specific to you alone. If you use an AI tool to write for you i…

It isn't surprising given how many people totally blew off assignments in english class growing up. Even pre ai, pre social media, reading was dying or already dead. Writing a close second. So many people in high powered positions sending those "ok Sent from my iPhone." emails. Many people in fact don't like doing. They like shutting off their brain. Sitting still and not using their body and letting muscles atrophy…
This drives me crazy when dealing with various contractors in my area. They often only answer by text, and can take a little while to do so. Not a big deal. But If I send a message with more than one question, there is what feels like a 10% change they will answer all my questions and a 90% chance they will either answer one or none and I’ll just get an “ok”. And I am talking about 5 lines messages not 50 lines. So I…
If I peppered someone with a series of questions or worse, bundled unrelated issues into one message, they would all probably be mishandled. I think it was a mismatch of expectations and/or how corporate workers use email apps.
So if I held every message to one topic, one question, things tended to work as expected.
People here need to stop complaining about the train, and get on board. It's easier than ever before to build a network that can later be used for distribution and monetization. Does it really matter that content is authentically organic? We are tech people after all...our lives are practically synthetic and artificial. It's like getting upset because one artificial sweetener is sweeter than another. If anything, I t…
"Building a network" is getting harder and may soon become completely impossible. Apparently when the total number of people who are interested in you or whatever you're selling doesn't increase and are instead diluted by piles of automatically-generated, void-filling slosh, it gets harder to spot what's really valuable. Everyone had to wade through the swamps now, so instead of surrendering more of their time to try…
They don't even remove the em dashes!
It is absolutely useless for actively searching for a job. Their job search is terrible and constantly shows unrelated results. The only useful part is that recruiters can contact you directly, which is how most jobs seem to be filled today.
And so I'll comment asking them why it's okay to use a tool that was built on the backs of content it wasn't properly licensed to use to generate a post promoting an anti-piracy product. I'm yet to get a good response, if any. (Sorry for the word salad.)
I've started collecting some of these: https://josh.mn/anti-piracy
(Note: I went to federal prison for internet piracy)
