From the article: > I tried to determine if the commenters, too, were bots. The vast majority of them clearly are not. Most commenters I looked into are people who have been judiciously posting family photos, political arguments, and status updates on Facebook for decades. I wouldn't be surprised if most of them are real. There's still an incredible number of Facebook users (especially the older generations) that just scroll through Facebook for hours each day and earnestly interact with things they see.
