If you think it’s bots then that seems like a more legitimate complaint

An easy way to win popularity contests is to stuff the ballot. On the internet, you can do this with bots

You really need to work on your communication and reading comprehension buddy.

Maybe try a mirror bud

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.

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 👍
