Dead Internet theory - Wikipedia
en.wikipedia.org
The "the US government/Soros/whatever is doing this on purpose to guide us" part may be more or less a conspiracy theory, but Russian, Ukrainian, Chinese etc bot farms are most definitely engaged in propaganda wars on twitter and meme sites to sow discord in the US and across Europe; that an ever-increasing amount of internet traffic is bot- and automation-driven is also an actual fact. I don't think the entire internet is dead or anything, but, erm, where do we draw the line between "conspiracy theory" and "worrisome evolution we can see that is backed up by the data"?Dead Internet theory - Wikipedia

OK, bots were already perfectly willing to pay for verification. Paying for three months will probably cost less. So now, like some other platforms, well just have 90- or 100-day old bout accounts instead of 1-day-old.... And honestly, almost no-one uses 1 day old bots anyway.
So what's the point other than trying to stop the bleeding by cutting out the wound?

The pedal can come loose and wedge into position accelerating the vehicle.
