I suppose if the platform is already filling up with AI bot spam, they'll financially be better off if people are paying then to generate it. But, it seems likely this will increase the rate of people exiting the platform.

The people who would have left these platforms for the dangers, have already left. The remainder of people left on these platforms are those that lack the introspection or other natural abilities needed to notice and avoid situations in which torture can occur. They in effect volunteer themselves for such torture without their knowledge, and yes this is just as described. Distorting reflected appraisal in an inconsistent way breaks people's minds. The mere exposure is harmful, and the more exposure occurs the greater the effect. There is no defense aside from limiting exposure with this blindspot. They have already been called out for bots taking over, before they could claim that each username was a person for purposes of advertising but that is no longer profitable with the greater scrutiny. These watering holes have already become pools of toxic bot-driven torture. They are just bringing it somewhat more out into the open now that they can no longer claim it isn't happening. The people involved are quite evil, and a characteristic attribute of evil people is that they are blind to the consequences of their actions. They accept and plan for destructive outcomes for short term profit. If you don't want to take this at face value, feel free to look up the books from respected experts in this subject matter. Robert Lifton, and Joost Meerloo. Robert Cialdini covers the psychological blindspots used as levers, though distorted reflected appraisal is not covered in significant detail. They cover brainwashing, torture, and cult deprogramming. They cover the foundations of these things, the limits of rational thought and how psychological stress and trauma overrides it, and how structured methods are used. What is covered easily applies to these platforms.

    Rest assured what I said is helpful to the intended target audience. If you believe that, then you probably aren't included in that group. Observations and references to experts and other once common knowledge aren't rants. If you can't see how this would be useful, you have my condolences. The future is going to be a rough road for the blind.
