There is something I’ve noticed happening on #Twitter since last year, and I notice it especially when I re-tweet and comment on articles that have a different point of view of the mainstream media consensus.
Should I blame Twitter? For I have no idea who is behind this, but it looks like my tweets and re-tweets are liked and re-tweeted by a certain percentage of bots. This is just a tiny nuisance, but a nuisance nonetheless. While it’s really flattering to be re-tweeted and liked, it’s just as disappointing to discover it was a Twitter-bot.
Not only that, but mainly they are big-busted, tight waisted females. In particular, I can’t understand the reasoning. For one thing, my profile picture is of a female, so why would you have scantily clad females following and re-tweeting me? Have I once mentioned I was a lesbian? I feel offended now.
Do you even have scantily clad male bots ?
I’m not here to admonish my lady-bot friends, just their programmers. Or is this already the AI taking over? If they happen to be reading this, I would like to say to them, stop it.
Twitter might consider letting go of this algorithmic business model because one day, people are going to drop off the platform like flies, and join places like #Steemit, it’s only a matter of time.
