I feel like with rampant bot/AI posting the traffic into social media sites are being spoofed. And companies know this and allow it to happen because it will inflate the ad value and then the stock value. Is this true to an extent or is this taken into account?

    I suspect this is probably true but it’s also the type of psychologically appealing narrative that we should be sure to interrogate.

    It’s certainly true that online spaces have some level of bit activity but how much? I haven’t seen data on this, but I’m sure someone must have investigated.
