Something that nobody mentions when they talk about dead internet theory that I think should be talked about is that the worthless engagement trolls that are real people, really do not and should not count as real people. They’re never going to give you worthwhile responses, they don’t add anything to conversations. Unless they see an opportunity to pick a fight they’re probably not even listening to you.
Therefore they’re not really any different than an AI run account that’s not going to acknowledge you. And in some ways they are much worse, despite being technically “real people”.
