    I was looking for Bluetooth speakers recommendations and it’s the first time I really noticed “generic bot replies” like “I’ve got this great product to recommend, not only is it good but it offers great sound quality as well! The product is [link to Amazon page]”

    Gotta start searching using “before:” to get quality results…

      I’m seeing bots promoted and sold to generate those kinds of replies, RIP internet, looking forward to SSN/DNA+background check review verification (I kid but I half dream of that privacy nightmare partially plugging the review fraud hole).

        I’m with you on embracing the privacy nightmare to kill off cheaters in games. Tie an account to a real identity and that problem will quickly reduce.
