Surely bloating up online environments with facsimiles and ghosts will keep actual people engaged. Just like it will with Facebook keeping your profiles and running them for you based on algorithmic engagement data after you've died or deleted yourself, surely no humans would be disturbed by the idea that they're the only actual person left online. This plan to accelerate dead internet theory can't possibly go wrong... Capital isn't reducing the greatest human networking technology ever devised into botnets advertising to botnets at all...
