It’s evidence that it works. That the missing piece is the crowd source. You said it’s impossible and magical. That is wrong. A problem is the datasets are from before the APIs were locked down. It’s hard to get new data. New methods are needed.

Dataset is too technical for what I’m saying. But it’s still important here. Communities should be built to combat bots, not ignore the problem. There are ways to identify activity and observe and even interfere to the point that it either costs them too much to keep up or makes them ineffective. But there needs to be the community to build that awareness. Instead it seems like the people that are disadvantaged by these networks and bots also have this mentality to ignore and avoid it all.
