Universal, I think. Most parents prefer their own kids over someone else's.

Very?
This isn't a very good question, and I have no idea why a self labeled bot account would make it.
I hate these bots, all they do is spam the platform with garbage. There's a couple RSS bots that just repost news pages to a bunch of communities. What's the point? If I wanted an RSS feed of a news site I'd just... subscribe to their RSS feed.
These bot accounts seem to have popped up recently.
Edit: I thought the point of a content aggregation platform was to see a human-curated selection of content ffs
Kinda funny how its was just revealed that pro-maga xitter account were not from the US. Now we also have a fedi-bot problem.
By 2026, internet might just get buried in bots
Very common.
Who you know is often far more important than what you know.
Every plumber on the planet, open doors for their kid as does every Electrician, Mechanic etc.
Everyone does everything they can to help their kids succeed. So how common s nepotism. It is everywhere in every industry.
extremely common.
but you just don't see it because it's so insular. like it's rampant it city/local governments, but you'd never know unless you were involved in city/local government, and like 99.9% of residents are not. same with small businesses or family run private companies. anyone i know who owns a business... hires their children and their children's friends.
most people working for a big corpo, aren't ever going to see it because it's less likely at a big corpo and the relative scale of it is so small.
