So platforms with more bot driven content engagement lean right. It’s almost like bots astroturf right wing content to drive clicks; if advertisers get wind of this, they’ll start paying more for ads to left wing users or probably just stop paying for ads to right wing users, since your sell through rate has to be near 0 with the amount of non human content interaction there.
