The Dead Internet Theory: How Bots Took Over the Web

What if the internet died—and no one noticed?

This course explores the eerie theory that most of the web is no longer real. Just bots talking to bots. You? You’re just the product.

You’ll uncover:

• Bot-dominated spaces: internet bots, social media bots, click farms, spam, coordinated inauthentic behavior.
• Reality distortion fields: fake news, generative AI, sockpuppets, deepfakes, synthetic media, clickbait.
• Digital chaos: algorithmic bias, recommendation loops, filter bubbles, content farms, attention hijacking.
• Dark networks: shadow banning, deep web, botnets, ad fraud, cyber ops, info warfare.
• The fake internet economy: platform manipulation, digital identity, SEO gaming, media consolidation.
• Post-truth architecture: propaganda models, operation Infektion, influence ops, algorithmic censorship.

Welcome to the internet—where most users are fake and most content is noise.

This isn't a theory anymore. It’s a warning. If you want to see the signals inside the noise, start here.
