As media scrutiny ticked up Friday, Meta began taking down Liv and other bots’ posts, many of which dated back at least a year, citing a “bug.”
Funny how that works. I don’t think the main talking point is the issue that they couldn’t be blocked on Instagram. That is a non-answer to the question of why the decision to unleash these creepy, fake users into the wild was made in the first place. Full fledged features aren’t suddenly mistakes just because they’re getting backlash now. It seems like they’re not sorry and they’re going to keep trying.
This has been going on for quite some time, and will just continue in the background. I always had suspicions about all the positive comments on advertisements. This just confirms that they’re faking engagement numbers.
Wait, you’re telling me that people respond on ads? That’s fucken crazy.
I cant confirm on this as I deleted my Facebook account 8 years ago, plus run ad-blockers. If I was in marketing and Meta told me there were positive reactions to our ad campaigns running on their site, I would take their metrics with a large pinch of salt.
