Social media has been a transparent race to the bottom for many years. The sooner it is shittified beyond repair the better. AI flooding content to them should help speedrun its descent, or maybe I’ve giving the average user (above child age) too much credit.
Isn't this a bot farm? Don't they already exist and aren't they against TikTok's terms of service? The most surprising part of this article is that a16z invested in this.

Their fund sizes have skyrocketed since.
Them investing in a troll farm is pretty on brand.
In any case, their investment into this company just fits onto a trendline of high-capital antisocial behaviour.
