Breitbart: Social media bots helped failed Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton more than President Trump during the 2016 presidential election, according to a paper from an MIT associate professor.
In a paper, Monday, Tauhid Zaman, an associate professor of operations management at the MIT Sloan School of Management, revealed that “Trump bots were far less effective at shifting people’s opinions than the smaller proportion of bots backing Hillary Clinton.”
“Given much of the news reporting, we were expecting the bots to help Trump – but they didn’t. In a network without bots, the average human user had a pro-Clinton score of 42 out of 100. With the bots, though, we had found the average human had a pro-Clinton score of 58,” Zaman declared. “That shift was a far larger effect than we had anticipated, given how few and unconnected the bots were. The network structure had amplified the bots’ power.” more here
In other words, H-Rod people are gullible morons.
Got it…but I think I already had it.
Given the size of the internet, how did he determine there were 260 Trump bots and only 150 Hillary bots?

F.B.I.
Dopes form their political options from socialized media.
i wouldn’t call losing a presidential election helpful at all.
butt, what evah.
With this revelation, “an associate professor” has zero chance of being
“a professor”. He might as well start at a local CC and take plumbing courses.
I’m with you on that, F4U. This boy done ended his collegiate career at MIT.
