Was reminded how Epstien not killing himself was/is so accepted yet it’s still a conspiracy theory. Is there any similar ones you guys believe to be completely true ?

    You make a good point. I think the difference would be the measurement of real human engagement / interaction with the web. While both are very bleak, there’s a difference between humans consuming (and responding to) a bunch of bad bot-and-algorithm-generated content and bots just talking to each other while the humans are out of the equation entirely (watching passively, being completely lost in the noise, etc). I assume you and I are both human, for example. I know I’m splitting hairs here, but I guess you could say it’s the difference between a terminally ill patient and a dead one.
