How true is the dead internet theory, in your view?

I’ll ask anyway. Why do companies like bots?

Once you reach a critical mass of people who think one thing, any comment to the contrary is just… obliterated, whether by an exhausting amount of argument, or downvotes.

There’s also this effect where when you get further down a comment chain only people who really care about that particular argument keep reading. So past say comment 3 everyone is super duper opinionated.
