No doubt that Twitter’s board will not touch bots for the same reason Linden Lab doesn’t touch its own bots: numbers make people think there’s a party. It works on Twitter better since you just have text and video clips. You don’t have to do much to make a convincing bot seem like a person on Twitter. The bonus is that it makes advertisers also think there’s people to market their junk to so they get more eye balls and more ad dollars with little effort thanks to inflated numbers via bot wranglers. I swear someone should write a cyberpunk novel covering a scam that deals with bot wrangling, it would be hilarious.
