[QUOTE="Crypto, post: 14340, member: 2279"] i Feel like this a a natural progression for the internet. Engagement and focus are all that matters to these companies, so naturally if you could create an AI or bot to increase engagement of actual people, you would so you can get those sweet ad clicks. compound tons of websites doing this or even unleashing bots on their competitors platforms to sew discord, and we have a zombie internet full of Astro turfing campaigns. Obviously social media is the easiest place to see it, and IMO >redditcostanzayeahrightsmirk is the ground zero for a lot of the astro turfing going on now a days. to fix it we would need a system similar to web3.0, some way to either make it expensive to try and be disingenuous, or make it easy to identify fake accounts and fake people. Either by trying to to existing services that are legit or better yet using a block chain based system that users can verify themselves. i think a place to start would be breaking away from social media, places like this are almost an oasis in the desert of low effort shitty posts. The only way to take back control would be moving to different websites or using open source software. Problem is different websites can just become corrupt similar to how the current social media empires become corrupted. Ideally the future of internet should be decentralized and verifiable. I think it will come eventually, we could even see a fragmenting of internet in two, one with services and websites where you're the product and these places are considered "legit" and another where decentralization and open source software reigns supreme, and regular internet users are discouraged from using these systems. im not sure, I have hope for the future but the present is definitely scary [/QUOTE]
