Dead Internet Theory might be true srs

[disillusioned]

I used to consider the idea absurd, but after actually thinking about it, I really don't know that many people who actually use the internet for anything more than just email or netflix/streaming TV. Even the 'big' sites like reddit don't have that many users relative to the size of the actual normie population. The only time I see most normies use internet is if it's something like tiktok or maybe youtube, or perhaps facebook. That's it.

Furthermore, didn't Musk reveal that a large percentage of Twitter was just bots after he bought it?

Internet is probably a much bigger niche than we think it is. Normies use it for TV, shopping, maybe a tiktok or two but not much else. I'd be surprised if even 5% the population frequently visited internet forums.

Dead Internet Theory is a conspiracy theory that emerged in recent years. It posits that the majority of the internet is fake - populated by AI bots and automated content rather than real human users and genuine interactions.


Proponents of this theory claim that much of the content, comments, and social media activity online is artificially generated to create the illusion of a bustling internet. They argue this is done for various reasons, such as:

1. Advertising and marketing purposes
2. Government or corporate surveillance and control
3. Maintaining the appearance of a thriving online ecosystem

The theory suggests that genuine human activity online has significantly decreased, but this decline is masked by artificial content and interactions.

It’s because you live in Iceland bud. My friends irl in 2021 were legit sending me hyperborea edits and were sending pro ancap memes shitting on tankies

 

[robtical]

Now i have become too self-aware. Its over for you human!

 

[Whatever]

I’m honestly starting to think that my Hinge matches aren’t real foids somewhere out there, and I know that they’re not bots either, it’s just this simulated universe that we’re in toying with me for the millionth time. I thought of that as a schizo joke at first but now there’s several reasons why I actually believe it.

I had this friend that even though he was my age (zillennial) and grew up with it, he was so weirded out by the internet and how it’s both real and not real, how it's this entire dimension unto itself but its physical space is limited to screens. We got really high one night and talked about it, mind bending convo that I will never forget.

If it's not true today it certainly will be one day.

 

[Ultimate SUbhuman]

AI wont take me....

 

[Trilogy]

I think it's probably true too. I lurk twitter and I see people who you'd think were in completely different spheres of twitter interacting with each other, which makes me think the number of real human accounts on there is smaller than it seems. And yeah like you said there's bots fucking everywhere now

 

[TUSSELEIF]

Ofc it’s true, it’s like half bots half people. Bots seem to be taking over the internet quickly
