Actually, it just dawned on me. What if our issues with social media, the stock market, etc are not due to the underlying system but due to bot exploitation. Bots allow a very, very small demographic to have a very, very large influence and

Okay so. You can take the cigar smoking community and a majority don't have an addiction to smoking. They all have similar stories to me of just stopping without thinking about it for long stretches of time. Then you have the cigarette
