Absolutely, certain communities in all of the most popular instances seem to almost exclusively host bot interactions. Some other very popular communities have a more even distribution of humans to bots.

When? I didn't see a specific time period in the article-preview.

"Op didn’t say social media companies today are like tobacco companies today"

I don't see how anybody wouldn't infer it from the headline.

also, I read your source and they don't go into any specific detail about the actions of the big tobacco companies with the exception of labeling cigarette packs as "light, ultra light, mild, etc..." I was around for that and nobody was under the impression that there was a safe cigarette. The remedy for that just changed from asking the cashier for a pack of "Camel lights" to a pack of "Camel blues." -At this point in time the Tobacco industry was also already banned from most television and radio marketing, even bilboards ads were disappearing. If comparing social media companies to tobacco companies from 1999 is the standard we're trying to establish here, then I would have expected RICO cases against Twitter, Facebook, and Google back around some time between 2010-2015 or earlier. -They are so much worse than that now.

The current tobacco companies are no longer any more evil than any other business is my point. It's a bad comparison for a modern day Social Media company, especially since so little of the population today was around for when Tobacco companies were at their worst.

According to the records Arkansas has never had this many storms in the past, so she must be lying. -She'd know how.

As someone that subscribes to the fundamental tenants of vexillography, I have a bigger issue with Virginia's state flag overall design. It is bad practice to use a state seal in a flag design. It is worse practice to also include text in a flag's design. -Imagine if you shrank that flag down to 2"x3" do you think you'd still be able to read that? Flags are supposed to be read from a distance.

-My solution is to keep the boob, and get rid of everything else except the blue and white background. It would be distinctive and it would still retain it's same symbolism.

Cool, does it run on a Galaxy Xcover6 Pro with a Verizon plan? I bet it doesn't, nothing does besides the big-2 OS's it seems.

I always liked using this on the premise of privacy-through-obfuscation. If the powers that be must get information from me, then i'd prefer to give them garbage information.
