These companies not being able to handle bot attacks without hamstringing major parts of their platforms is a canary in the coal mine for the Dead Internet.
What do you mean by 'Dead internet'? Are you referring to established platforms like Meta and Twitter?
Salix is right that it alludes to the Dead Internet Theory.
I don’t actually subscribe to the full theory that the internet is already dead and we only talk to bots, but I do think bot activity may become advanced and pervasive enough to create a “Dead Internet” like scenario (or at least fundamentally alter platforms away from what we currently know as the internet experience)
It's a conspiracy theory regarding the internet being mainly bots

Fuck, that's dark.
Hello?? Is anyone there?
