Lots of people follow bots on Instagram and Twitter, etc.

Why not follow bots on YouTube and Spotify?

Your attention is your only real resource that you have to give online... giving it to bots on Instagram and Twitter is fairly "low attention" where you give the bot a few seconds of interaction. On YouTube or Spotify you're giving MUCH more attention, on the order of hours.

I wonder about a future where our attention isn't even spent on other people anymore. It's not really an online landscape I would be interested in.
