Try reading the whole thing and comprehending it as a complex thought with nuance. I'll wait. Might take you awhile but I'll wait.
On boy are you dense. I agreed if your theory that bots are to blame is correct you have a legitimate complaint I dispute that and you got really confused and angry saying I don't understand instead of anything of substance. Do you know what projection is?
I never said bots were the problem. I said people caring more about popularity is the problem and that once you realize this it's super easy to program bots to imitate people by up voting/down voting what you want. But yes, call me dense when you've misconstrued my argument from day one.
Edit: didn't look like my previous comment posted so I rewrote it. Considering how dense you are tho, maybe two versions will help you finally understand, so I'll just leave it.
Hmm...
Because I never said bots are to blame. People are and once you realize that, programming a bot to do what people can do is super easy.
I get offended when people try to tell me I made an argument I never made. But thanks again buddy 👍
