Nah. Twitter never had this much of a bot problem before Elon bought it, which is a big clue as to what's actually gone wrong: He laid off all the moderators and all the staff who were training the automated bot detection algorithms. Extremely formulaic spam which would have been instantly flagged a couple years ago just piles up in my notifications.
- ElongatedMusket 3y agoIt absolutely had a bot problem before! What Twitter were you using?
- pixxel 3y agoDismiss comments that start with ‘Nah.’
- carlosjobim 3y agoI've never seen a good quality comment starting with "Nah.", where did it come from and why did it become viral?
- rsynnott 3y ago> never had this much of a bot problem ... How did you read this as meaning it never had a bot problem? They're claiming that it had _less_ of a bot problem, which certainly _feels_ true.
- carlosjobim 3y agoDoes the difference matter, when the place was completely infested already before?
- bccdee 3y agoIt was never a problem for me before and it's a problem for me now. That difference matters immensely to my experience of the platform.
