RE: Follower Fallacy

in GEMS5 days ago

There’s a lot of interest in getting the next big channel and millions of “followers” but what I think is frequently not discussed is how most of those people are just bots or AI at this point. The engagement isn’t real like it is here on hive. It’s unfortunate but that’s the way of the world at the moment.

I think it’s also impossible to sift through those comments and make replies. You would need a few people to do that and then it comes back to the main point - what’s actually really humans or not?

Sort:  

It's so true, nowadays. Especially on traditional social media, I always laugh in my head when I read YouTube comments of a bot pretending to not understand how crypto works, openly displays the wallet seedphrase and asked for help in transferring funds. It's clearly just a scam attempt but genuine humans do reply to it lol.

I think for that case, niche communities will become more relevant, especially when the crypto aspect is embedded in it like Hive. Building a self sustaining economy where human users can exchange value and do other interesting stuffs.

Thanks for stopping by :)
