Is there someone out there who measures this stuff? because I keep seeing this but literally no "evidence" of it. And if someone is measuring it and we know who the bots are, why can't we just block them?

I think most social media sites want the bots. It drives engagement and viewership, but if you pay attention to some of the right wing subs and communities they'll struggle to delelte comments and curb differing opinions because they don't have the Internet or data infrastructure to go online.
