The internet is 'dead' anyways, what're you talking about?
People frequent like the same 5 sites anymore. Privacy is clinging onto a thread. Porn has too much influence and control in terms of content. Users are two-faced pricks at a given turn. Too many verification/captcha systems. Too much data farming. Flat, dull and feature-less website designing. Anything that was remotely good got shut down or plugged with ads.
The bots are just the death knoll.
Oh, remember the time when people once thought that bots on the internet was a conspiracy theory? Bet they feel like fools now. Like in this report here
Would you expand on this? I’m interested to know what’s being referred to.
Nobody is really interested in what their step sister is doing, but we don't really mind finding out, either.
