47% of all internet traffic came from bots in 2022 https://www.securitymagazine.com/articles/99339-47-of-all-internet-traffic-came-from-bots-in-2022

That's kinda shocking....

I wonder what's the motivation behind these bots? I bet it's not the incentive for humans to trade, and thus consume, and thus want more, and thus aquire more, and thus steal, and thus deceive, and thus create these bots...

Mindblowing. It will only continue to increase, I assume. The internet becomes more and more about advertisment, promotion and selling shit now. Bots can be very effective in that regard and other scams of course.

Same way trade pushed humans to consume forests, and mountains of resources, and other creatures to deplete populations, and in the process create a lot of waste, the internet is now the new territory of exploitation. Very predictable when you understand how the force of trade operates and incentivizes humans. Terrible.

@esh How do you define trade again? For me it about energy/matter, socioeconomic status, power, resources, ... inequality. And trade is just a means for that.

Trade is one the method to distribute scarce resources between people, I would say. It has played a defining role in human societies evolution. But unfortunately, at current moment it became a global foundation and most influencing force affecting people lives and behavior. Even if at this level of development we can provide more and more resources in abundance for all people, it still has to be profitable, to be traded to keep the system work. And I would argue that status, power and inequality, all are actually by-products of trade. Artifitial limits, exagerrated marketing, false values are also helping in creation inequality or such concepts like "status", which is used mainly to trade even more "deluxe" stuff to obtain those "statuses". An entire TROM project, which is led by @Tio is about that actually, how trade might be the origin of the most problems humanity faces nowadays and what are the alternative methods of distribution (like trade-free) that may be applied to societies to make them saner and more sustainable.
