 Y’all know about the dead internet theory? 
 Yeah, I believe it to a degree.  
 negative; what is it? 
 Almost all of the content on the internet is made by bots and curated to manipulate the public who mostly gets information from the internet rather than generating content 
 🤔 so like, we are typically consuming things from bots rather than humans? And a majority of us are consumers rather than producers? 
 Yes. Most people just read/watch stuff on the internet. This creates an opportunity for big tech/the government to fill the internet with bullshit to psyop the average user into believing whatever they want them to believe 
 👀 that's cray cray...and makes sense. I try to minimize on empty digital calories. Carl Marci's Rewired goes deep into the psychology of it too, if you're interested. 
 Nooo. Is it that we are all already dead and our consciousness exists in the internet or something? 🤔🤯 
 yes we covered that on  @Conspiracy Dimensions great topic 
 Yes. It's true btw. Trust me 
 Yeah pretty creepy 
 My client search never returning the same results twice let alone an npub I'm looking is a feature on Nostr not a bug.

 Yes and honestly I think it's retarded 
 It would be way easier to actually get people to use the internet and create content and post online then it would be to create fake identities. 

Everyone I know in real life is addicted to their phone I think it's safe to say that the internet is only dead in the sense that it's controlled largely by massive corporations and algorithms that control what people see. Not in the sense that the people are fake which is what my understanding of it is 
 What if you're a robot? It's ridiculous. 
 Imagine a theory that suggests the internet as we know it died quietly several years back, around 2016 or 2017. According to this eerie notion, the bulk of online activity today is merely the orchestrated dance of algorithms, manipulating the global population for some undisclosed agenda..

It's the kind of concept that begins as a jest or a hypothetical scenario, yet somehow gains traction as some folks genuinely buy into it. What gives ideas like these their unsettling allure is their partial grounding in reality. Bots do roam the digital realm, algorithms do shape content and outcomes, but to conclude that these elements constitute the entirety of the internet is quite a stretch… unless?
