    I haven’t seen this question asked.

    how can the results be trusted that they were actually interacting with real humans?

    what’s the percentage of bot-to-bot contamination?

    this study looks more like a hacky farce that is only meant to bring attention to our manipulation and less like actual science.

    any professional that puts their name on this steaming pile should be ashamed of themselves.

    Just in my own understanding of life. There are these political think tanks. They are staffed by your old professors professors professor. These guys make big bucks to sit around and do this stuff then figure out attack points. I really think they had this research probably 20 years ago. I figure that’s what the guys do all day. Eventually the results end up in the firm that handles Steven Crowder, Ben Shapiro, that guy living in the Philippines.
