Welcome back to Everyone’s a Bot—the podcast about fake people, seductive profiles, and why we fall for things that were never human to begin with.
In this episode, we dive headfirst into the most chaotic battlefield online: the comment section.
Once a place for random thoughts and pet pics, it’s now crawling with bots built to stir the pot. You’ll hear how a simple video of a goat jumping over a broom spirals into a full-blown culture war—thanks to algorithm-triggered rage bait and AI-generated arguments.
From clapbacks crafted by machines to profiles that don’t sleep, we uncover how you’re being lured into fake fights for real engagement. If you’ve ever walked away from a comment thread wondering how you ended up in a debate about freedom, corruption, or protein powder—you might’ve been arguing with a glorified toaster.
