Ashley Madison was/is a 'dating' site for married people looking to cheat. When they were hacked in 2015, it was revealed that ~3/1000 users were female, with only ~1/50 of those women having ever replied to any message whatsoever. Women, effectively, did not exist on the site. Despite this, many men were messaging women with some frequency. This was because the company had set up a system whereby the men could message a bot, thinking that it was a woman, and the bot would reply back. All costing the cheating men money for each message. To be clear, real men were paying real money to chat with bots, sometimes for months on end. For a select subset of people, the bots may have passed the Turing test. >So the first priority would make more sense to get and keep women on the platform. I would agree, if I were ethical. If I were not, then following Ashely Madison's example, buying/creating simple chat bots would suffice. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ashley_Madison_data_breach https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ashley_Madison_data_breach
