RE: 10,000 Newbies?
You are viewing a single comment's thread:
I don't really use other social media, so I can't judge the bot-driven traffic and so on. However, We also get raided regularly by bots, or spammed by real people who are comment-farming or just copy-pasting AI summaries of your posts. This typically happens on high-payout posts – just look at the comments under this one (even though $20 isn’t really much and my $0.02 upvotes aren't very appealing either). The comments I haven’t upvoted look shabby to me. Do the math: What's the ratio of genuine comments here?

Honestly, compared to Facebook or Instagram, I'd say your ratio actually looks pretty good. I think the lower volume of comments on Hive helps people to manage what they see to an extent, so it is easier to pick out the bots/farmers you referenced. In most cases, by the time a fb/inst post comes across my feed it already has hundreds of comments, and only the "trending" responses get shown. You never know if something is actually a trending opinion or just manufactured to look that way. I guess you could really pick through the comments and try to gauge the consensus of the genuine, but that would get to tedious for most to even bother. At least from what I've seen so far, bots here seem easier to identify and ignore.
