I'm sure they think, "No, it's only 50% is an acceptable answer.
I kind of think this is his strategy to getting them to admit how much of a problem it is. It could only be as low as 1/3 bots and that’s still a major fucking problem.
Even 20% really. Because those bots or inorganic accounts are so damn active and focussed on only specific, targeted sorts of conversation flow in the exact right places to the right people. The results they get are probably 3-5x what a normal organic heavy twitter user would produce.
When Trump was on, there were people who responded with a message 20 seconds after he hit send. No way that is a human typing a well thought out response hitting the major talking points then immediately getting 100k likes and 20k retweets .
If even 1/3 are bots, that's pound you in the ass Federal prison for fraud for their execs.
Now you know why the board didn't own any stock in the company but took hefty salaries instead.
