June 10, 2026Bots Now Outnumber Humans Online And The Internet Was Never Built For This
Social media is toast Reddit, given that people give opinions and have conversations here, is particularly susceptible to bots and this interaction is used for training or disruption. You are being mined for information or pushed to anger. I urge everyone to consider the likelihood that every single interaction you have, even seemingly substantive ones, has a high likelihood of being a machine interaction. There are chaos agents everywhere here. Everyone has encountered a “Reddit asshole“ whose only purpose is to make you angry, particularly in the political subs. They don’t address points that you make, they answer in short terse sentences designed to poke you. Do not get angry, identify those posts as bots as best you can and do not engage. Move on.

Are AI bots increasing internet traffic?
Yes. AI-driven bots are one of the biggest drivers of growing bot traffic. Unlike older scripted bots, AI bots can mimic human browsing behavior, rotate IP addresses, and interact with websites more realistically, making them harder to detect and allowing them to generate massive amounts of automated traffic.
