RE: Why Are People Acting Like Twitter Bots?
The problem with bots... or more specifically, people who are paid to troll comments is that they are not in it for the dialog. People will engage with them trying to change their minds. But, there isn't a mind there to change. They are just going by a script, whether its a human or a computer.
And so, i find they are just wasters of time.
They have no skin in the game.
And thus should be barred from all discussions.
If any group of people is here to make the world a worse place, it is those who argue without any skin in the game.
People would need to get better at spotting bots and not engaging them. But I've also seen people refusing to accept that there are bots that feign support for their views. It's a lot of cognitive dissonance to break down before bots are treated like the garbage they are.
