Dead internet theory https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dead_Internet_theory
And the ISP companies complain about how they “couldn’t handle the additional bandwidth” of things like streaming services as they became more popular - at least not without charging everyone more. Come to find out it’s bots consuming the bandwidth. But hey, why waste an opportunity to profit.
They'd complain even if there was literally nothing to point at. Why waste an opportunity to profit?
That's a remarkably terrible Wikipedia article
Probably entirely fabricated by bots. /s
I watched a video a while back.. I couldn't find it. It was much better than the wiki.
