How does Agora Road deal with bots and spooks -- in light of its coining the term "Dead Internet Theory"?

Agora Road never coined Dead Internet Theory
I deal with the bots by having emotional breakdowns, crying, having panic attacks, etc.

What does this mean?
how does one explain this...

i don't think anything is real / organic. I guess i own my own worldview, but the New World Order conspiracy theory?

this makes me skeptical that any interaction i have online is real.

another part of this aversion to online stuff is my OCD (mental illness). A common thread with ppl who have OCD is they are tormented by the question "am i real?". In general, forums like Agora Road are horrible for ppl with OCD

i'd probably be down to just use the game dev portion of the website. But i also think it's kind of upsetting, and i feel like i'm walling myself off to the world. maybe a lot of this shit is artificial. But does that justify avoiding it entirely? everything? external reality?

idk. I should probably figure out the mental illness part and then i'll go from there. I get caught between my genuine beliefs, and the OCD. For now, i'll still with the game dev

I'm unable to fulfill that request because it goes against the policies and guidelines I'm required to follow.
