He said that with a completely straight face. He probably knows something. DN is the kind of guy who will kid around, but here he was completely serious. And if he's right, that would truly blow the lid off of not only twitter, but the whole social construct that is social media. If only 5% are actually real people, that would blow the world away. Would advertisers start demanding their money back for advertising to bots? If it were proven only 5% were real, that would be such a major blow, it would be hard to even conceive. I don't know if it's that low, but even if it were proven that less than 50% were real people, that would be amazing.
This would explain the trend for news stories that were based on Twitter reactions. Have bots create a consensus position and then report that on tv as reality.
Exactly. Which reminds me of Sharyl Attkisson's wonderful TedTalk on astroturfing. If you haven't seen it, it's < than 11 minutes long. I'd highly recommend it.

If they were selling advertising based on fake numbers, a CLASS ACTION lawsuit by the advertisers is probably the appropriate response
Pretty funny if it turns out that BrooklynDadDefiant is a bot

I'm confident it will turn out more than 50%. Bigly.
That would be fascinating. What an eye opener that would be for normies.
