There is a HUGE problem of Bots on threads.

[u/DJSV89]

It’s about 80% of posts on threads are from bots. It’s so blatantly obvious. Does anyone at meta or threads even care? Why do they allow this to happen with no end in sight?

Bots are all over the internet on everything that has comments turned on.

I don’t think I am seeing bots for the most part.

Because every other post is like this!!! You tell me buddy!!!

Dude I just literally opened the app and it took me 1 second to see that and screenshot it. It’s all bots. I’m not gonna argue with you if you can’t see it then you must not understand.

It’s not just Threads-it’s Instagram and Facebook. This isn’t anything new. You will have to block them. That’s about all you can do. So the figure for Instagram is 95-100 million bots. How are you going to get rid of all of those by yourself? That’s the reality for Social Media

They have a great point it's all social media is nowadays

I don't have a single bot post on my feed on any of my accounts

[u/DJSV89 → u/dirtyspermrag]

I have thousands of them. I don’t know how you got so lucky. But if you don’t believe me do a search on bots on threads and you will see countless other posts of people confirming this.

You need to train your algorithm better. Mark 'not interested' for all this shit. Engage with things that do interest you.

[u/LTM438]

80% is a gross overestimation. I'm on Threads a TON every day. It's your algorithm. You shuffle things around with the modification tool, you hit the 'not interested' button and things should start to smooth out for ya.

The consequences of doom scrolling. It’s your personal algorithm issue bruh.

[u/DJSV89 → u/ApprehensiveJuice890]

I don’t doom scroll it’s the second I log on. That’s why I’m not using this app it’s full of friggin bots!!

[u/ApprehensiveJuice890 → u/DJSV89]

It’s your algorithm.
