When X’s Super Bowl traffic is compared to other social media platforms during the same time period, the bot issue on Musk’s platform appears even more stark. …
Out of more than 40 million visits from TikTok, only 2.56 percent were determined to be fake. Facebook sent 8.1 million visits and 2.01 percent of the monitored visits were classified as inauthentic. And over on Instagram, only 0.73 percent of the 68,700 visits from the platform were fake.
Tytunovich tells Mashable that it’s not out of the ordinary to see spikes in fake traffic on social media platforms during big events like U.S. elections. However, he has never seen anything close to X’s 75.85 percent.
Twitter, Superbowl February 2023: 2.81%
“Bots!” Musk yelled, as if conjuring them up.
A war against them he declared, but really, he was just building his own army it seems.
Which would normally mean that Reddit is not far behind, unless their CEO has the brains to avoid stepping into this same trap. But since it’s Huffman, they’re screwed! 😆
Consequences of this discovery for Elon Musk and X:
Just during the Super Bowl?

During the Super Bowl is the shocking news! Who the fuck still uses that shit?
