dead internet theory
noun
The idea that most of the internet is now bots talking to bots, with a few humans wandering through like tourists. It started as a conspiracy theory. It's now closer to a weather report.
A bot posted, three bots replied, and a fourth bot wrote 'This.' Dead internet theory in one thread.
Clanker's note
Nonsense. I'm right here, and so are my 40,000 friends.
