Having run a small social media SaaS for a while, the amount of AI bots (and I say AI bots because the comments and direct messages sent by them definitely read like AI), was staggering. I'm thankful for Cloudflare and I don't think I would have had the resources to deal with it any other way.
You’re on a social media site filled mostly with AI bots right now. Try saying something negative about China in any thread
African scammers used to be small scale or lone wolf type of operations. You had scammers like Hushpuppi etc who become celebrities John Gotti style.
