        True. There are also Israeli military bots, and Russian military bots, and Chinese military bots.

        yeah i’m just referring to the study that was published and then hidden. but i think if you scroll through anything stock-related you’ll notice lots of bots too. i think Citadel plays a huge role here

      Instead we have half a userbase of hardcore leftists. I’d really like to have a solid non-political platform instead.

          No, I said I don’t want to talk about politics and politicize every single discussion.

            And yet here you are… the only person in the comment section mentioning politics.

            In my experience people like you who take every opportunity to complain about a site/user base being “too political” are only upset their own views are unpopular. Political discussion tends to magically become acceptable when they agree with the prevailing sentiment.

              I agree with you.

              The people who say, “I don’t like to talk about politics” are the ones who have the worst opinions about shit and know they will get called out and god forbid anyone not like my opinions!

              It’s a fair criticism and on topic, you are allowed to disagree without jumping down his throat.

              Left leaning people are more likely to be adventurous and educated, too things that would lead someone to a new site with a tech savvy user base.

              Nope, I don’t engage in any such discussion unless forced to, in which case I make my point and withdraw.

            You shouldn’t have mentioned it. They’re like the infected in TLOU. If you make a sound, you done for!
