The internet is now cooked soon? With $RDDT to other social media like X more at risk due to AI. You can have new decision models like Jev making autonomous computer interaction at near $0 cost. (With actions becoming more human-like/adapative) Then LLMs outputs influencing behavior or leading conversations. So at scale, a malicious actor can spawn 50,000,000 bots just roaming the internet, with LLM prompts convincing people + manufacturing public opinion. The main bottleneck would be phone number, IP, account age, maybe hardware for compute + device identifiers (which is extremely cheap still)… rather than LLM cost. I’ve already anecdotally seen short sellers use AI bots to spread negative misinformation about companies like $SIVE. Or bots market ____ account as the best one to follow in the comments. Or as seen with X uncovering 200+ bots manipulating debate about datacenter public opinion. But the scale might be exponentially worse soon. Scary to think about.

I think that is part of the opportunity so many people see the decline in paying users and click run write off $BMBL. management claims this is controlled and part of a quality over quantity reset. I am inclined to believe them but the thesis doesn’t require it due to a margin of safety. Also ask yourself how much the stock would re rate if say renewed marketing spend, new user experience and a focus on quality grew paying subscribers one Q. To me it’s asymmetric
