It sounds like a social network that kind of punishes participation...why would you recommend anyone if it could damage your reputation.
The social contract that's supposed to underly social networks does this anyway; someone who retweets / toots bots gets a bad reputation adn loses followers.
It's just the bots got really good at spoofing the social graph too...an llm can gain reputation by recommending humans just like humans can.
I agree that nobody cares enough. When was the last time you read anything good or promising about any of these sites - bot related or otherwise? but they persist because of a snowball of your network using it and then we feel fomo.
The only way to win is not to play. even if your kid's soccer team and your church and your suburb's news (and billions of bots) are all only on fb or whatever, stop their momentum and get off the ride, but obviously that isnt happening so the snowball continues to roll with the garbage in it and nobody cares and that's just how it is now.
Honestly you might be the exact person this is built for. You've clearly already mentally checked out of the existing platforms. "The only way to win is not to play" says it all.
It's okay to be negative, we're talking about a major commitment that I really need to believe in, and I'd rather get the truth before I commit to that than to have false hope.
Okay? I mean, if you say so. All I hear from those companies is how much we need more bots, but I don't use Microsoft - anything - so maybe we just have different worlds :)
