[Reuters] Former Disney CEO Bob Iger said the entertainment giant had determined that a substantial portion of Twitter's users were not real in 2016, when it weighed a purchase of the social network.

So they know their shit does not have as much support, as Twitter makes it look like. Interesting.

Of course they know.

It's like polls. They aren't designed to tell you what people want, they are designed to make people feel like what the group wants is what they want.

The real information (like real and accurate polls) is always hidden because it is always valuable.

Twitter polls are relatively honest, but you see it often where some woke idiot posts a poll and then deletes it when it doesn't go the way they want. Even they commit that kind of manipulation because their views cannot withstand scrutiny.

I meant, like, actual political polling.

Then they aren't using Twitter the way we think they are. They know it's fake, buy want to convince us it's the real world.

Wasn't Pixar pushing for faggotry, with Disney resisting for a while?

Pixar was full of new school talent fresh from indoctrination camps. You can see it in a lot of senior year film shorts. These people are making their own little demo reels full of woke crap and they go on to make movies for Pixar.

Reason they wanted Lasseter out. He was still a "Movies are for everyone" instead of "this is my glorified self insert"

So.. they must also realize twitter demographics =/= real life demographics. Most of the world outside of twitter and major western cities are "racist", "sexists", "bigots", homo/transphobes" and etc. Pretty much 95% of the world hates that kinda crap disney and modern companies are making.

For reference: this only comes after a judge allowed a whistleblower's testimony in the lawsuit.

I would still want to know how many bots.

From both Disney and Elon backing out it has to be at least 20%

What if it’s 50%?

What if it’s 90%?

Exactly, I want to know how trash twitter really is. We are at a moment where 1-4 users is a bot is the optimistic number

Well the number of people selling Bots to boost your numbers years ago I can only believe has gotten worse.

Across the board the overall bot numbers are probably over 20% easily, and while 20% might not seem massive, those 20% are probably used in a focused manner for maximum impact.

For example, for politically charged topics like abortion, it wouldn't surprise me if the bot influence is over 90% simply because that's where the largest portion of the 20% are focused. Topics that are important to the Left and to their establishment allies probably get special attention, e.g. the Rings of Power release, Ukraine-related news stories or the latest "exploitable" mass shooting.

20% can have a massively oversized impact if used effectively.

The thing is bots can tweet as much as they want. I mean we know they do vote manipulation, but most of the eyes are on a small percentage of the content that's probably created by real people. A site like that can be 90% bots and it only partially impairs its use.

Is like to see someone do this with reddit. I bet we'd get similar numbers, especially in the default subs
