Yall believe in the DEAD INTERNET THEORY?

 

The Dead Internet Theory is an online conspiracy theory suggesting that much of the internet is no longer made up of real human activity, but instead is dominated by bots, AI-generated content, and recycled material. People who believe in it argue that sometime in the mid-2010s (often around 2016–2017), the internet underwent a major shift where genuine human interaction was largely replaced by automated systems.


Here are the key points of the theory:



1.

Bot-Dominated Internet



Supporters of the theory claim that most of the content online—articles, videos, social media posts, comments—is now created by bots or AI, not people. They point to suspiciously similar comments, repetitive memes, and formulaic content as evidence.



2.

Disappearance of “Organic” Communities



Older internet users often report that forums, blogs, and early social media felt more authentic. The theory suggests that today’s internet is “hollowed out,” with genuine communities replaced by corporate platforms where engagement is driven artificially.



3.

Manipulation by Governments and Corporations



A common extension is that powerful groups (big tech companies, governments, advertisers) deliberately maintain this “dead” internet to control public opinion, suppress dissent, or steer people toward specific products, ideologies, or narratives.



4.

The “Simulation” Angle



Some extreme versions of the theory tie into simulation theory—suggesting that reality itself is being faked or replaced, with the dead internet acting as a cover for the illusion.





Why People Believe It

• The rise of AI-generated text, images, and videos makes it harder to tell what’s human-made.
• Bots on social media are well-documented, often used for marketing, propaganda, or scams.
• The loss of older web spaces (forums, personal blogs, independent sites) makes the modern internet feel more centralized and “fake.”

Criticisms



Most experts see the Dead Internet Theory as exaggerated. While bots, spam, and AI content are definitely widespread, billions of people still use the internet daily in genuine ways. The theory tends to blur real issues (like disinformation, bot networks, and algorithm-driven platforms) with speculative or conspiratorial thinking.

Something like 40% of all internet traffic and posts is apparently bots.

that means like 4 in 10 commenters here might not be real.

you could be arguing with a machine about the chicken content in chicken nuggies

 

I’m totally real. I have the dick pics to prove it.

 

Sounds like just what a bot would say.

 

And a good evening to the Taylor Swift Appreciation Society...or Whatever.

For folks who say they don't care about her y'all sure do talk about her a lot.
