CIAwiki Says Dead Internet Theory is a 'conspiracy theory'... how quaint.

by Scott Creighton

How quaint is that? Yet another inconvenient truth about the world we live in is discredited by the masters of the universe with their old stand-by 'conspiracy theory' label in hopes to keep folks online from having real discussions about what's going on around us.

I mean... that's kind of the core of Dead Internet theory (DIT), isn't it?

'The dead Internet theory is a conspiracy theory that asserts, due to a coordinated and intentional effort, the Internet now consists mainly of bot activity and automatically generated content manipulated by algorithmic curation to control the population and minimize organic human activity.^{[1][2][3][4][5]} Proponents of the theory believe these social bots were created intentionally to help manipulate algorithms and boost search results in order to manipulate consumers.^[6][7] Some proponents of the theory accuse government agencies of using bots to manipulate public perception.^[2][6] The date given for this "death" is generally around 2016 or 2017.^[2][8][9] The dead Internet theory has gained traction because many of the observed phenomena are quantifiable, such as increased bot traffic, but the literature on the subject does not support the full theory' Wikipedia

Of course DIT is real. You feel it every day. Bots jump into your chats on X, they leave comments on your videos, they seem to gravitate out of nowhere in support of the next big thing in the alt-media influencer world.
