Welcome back to Everyone’s a Bot—the podcast about fake people, seductive profiles, and why we fall for things that were never human to begin with.

In this episode, we dive headfirst into the most chaotic battlefield online: the comment section.

Once a place for random thoughts and pet pics, it’s now crawling with bots built to stir the pot. You’ll hear how a simple video of a goat jumping over a broom spirals into a full-blown culture war—thanks to algorithm-triggered rage bait and AI-generated arguments.

From clapbacks crafted by machines to profiles that don’t sleep, we uncover how you’re being lured into fake fights for real engagement. If you’ve ever walked away from a comment thread wondering how you ended up in a debate about freedom, corruption, or protein powder—you might’ve been arguing with a glorified toaster.

• How bots bait you into arguing with AI

• Red flags that you're trapped in a “bot brawl”

• Why outrage is the algorithm’s favorite flavor

• How to stop feeding the machine and reclaim your scroll

This one’s unofficially sponsored by Comment Command: AI-powered comebacks for the emotionally unavailable. (Yes, it’s fake—but also, too real?)

Ever wondered how someone with 38,000 followers gets 11 likes? Welcome to the wild world of fake fame. In this episode of Everyone’s A Bot, we’re diving headfirst into the shady business of buying clout—from bulk follower packages to emoji-stuffed comment bundles that scream “authentic.” (Spoiler: they’re not.)

Host Chris Smith breaks down why people still fall for fake followers in 2025, how these bot farms operate like real businesses (with customer service and everything), and what it really costs to lease your reputation. It’s part roast, part reality check—and yeah, the sarcasm is turned all the way up.

Whether you’re a curious creator, a social media cynic, or just here for the fire emoji drama, this episode delivers.

🎧 You’ll Learn:

• Why fake follower scams still work (and who's buying them)

• How perception online still beats authenticity

• What really happens when the bots disappear

• Why trust is the one thing you can't fake (or buy)

🔥 Bonus: A shoutout to Fitness Queen Z3000—the only bot who really believed in us.
