I'm still on the fence about that...I think it'd make more sense for many to drop social media and opt for their own site with RSS feeds. A lot of social media for some is little more than a noisier RSS reader. Sometimes even literally with those with auto-playing videos. ๐Ÿ˜ฌ

But how would the bots reply? That's what generates foot traffic, which is what brings ads, which is what is not enough to pay for the bills!

Perfect business model, I had a VC review it and got high marks

RSS is kinda a pain to set up though, not everyone wants to go through that.

It can be, yeah. However, similar may be said of responsible social media setup.

They should know they have options at least. Then they can make the decision for themselves.
