So Elon’s a “visionary” who wants to turn X into a single website where you can do everything — kinda like Yahoo!

He wants his new MySpaceX portal to be a website…

Where you can find a job: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yahoo!_HotJobs

Yes, ladies and gentlemen, this truly is a vision for the future — if by “the future” you mean 1997.

    Pretty much the entire Pacific rim, so it makes sense… but here’s one analysis on bots:

    https://www.fraud0.com/resources/tiktok-bots-fake-accounts-scam/

    “Initial analysis from us shows a clear picture: up to 97% of all traffic coming through TikTok could be detected as automated bot requests by our software. These are frightening figures that cost many advertising companies a lot of money and waste their ad spend.”

    Also:

    "In 2022 alone, TikTok removed:

    Over 256 million accounts (including accounts suspected to be under the age of 13 and fake accounts – 282% increase vs. 2021)

    Almost 160 million fake accounts (increase of over 1,200% (!) compared to 2021)

    These numbers are only a fraction compared to Facebook’s total of over 6.5 billion fake accounts removed in 2021."
