I pity the poor engineers who get the task. ”Hey Claire we need a report by tomorrow 8am that shows we only have under 5% bots. If there are more, just figure out a way to hide them. PS We are not telling you to falsify data, we are just making it very clear that these are the numbers we need, and you are indeed easily fired”
- xadhominemx 4y agoNo, they disclose a metric called monetizable MAU which already excludes a vast number of bots, to the best of their ability. Then they estimate that no more than 5% of those monetizable MAU are bots. The lower that drive that number, the greater the number of genuine users that get excluded as bots.
