There's a theory that the internet nowadays is mostly bots.

But the other theory is that what they do is push out normal reasonable people with their tactics designed to humiliate, degrade, and induce mental illness in whoever they're talking to.

The people saying simple phrases get a dopamine hit in saying / writing them. Normal people have realized there's no point in engaging with them - they're only there to dominate, you're not to learn something interesting, you're not going to change their mind via points or argument.

So normal people go "why would I choose to subject myself to this?" and leave.
