There's Not Much Evidence Backing the "Dead Internet Theory"...

But certain trends and observations support its claims. Keep in mind that these data points don't definitively prove the theory, but contribute to ongoing debates:

Bot Traffic: According to a 2023 report by Imperva, bots accounted for 37.9% of all web traffic. These bots range from search engine crawlers to malicious bots.

Social Media Bots: About 45% on Instagram, 15% on Twitter, and 5% on Facebook, are thought to be automated bots pretending to be real people.
