But Gnome doesn't think its a result of the dead internet

Ninja: How much stock do you give dead internet theory as an explaination?

Gnome: Of this specific phenomena? Not much. Are most social media posts at this point, most subs and follwer counts, bots? Yes. The reason I don't consider this an example of a dead internet is I see these same people at every meet up, they are everywhere The entire bitcoin community is filled with the most ignorant number go up dumbasses you will find anywhere

If I recount the beliefs of Bitcoiners I've met in person I can't disagree. They really are just like that. So far they seem few in number relatively, but I'm not sure how much of that is my personal perception bias.
