13 of them are visible on Lemvotes and they look naturally occurring to me. Granted I didn’t bother opening profiles to check their likelihood of being human though.
I don’t think it’s a bot.
Interesting thing I noticed in looking this up though, Andy Yen doesn’t have a Wikipedia page.

Aye, these words do not match. Amsterdam loudly and proudly claims credit for hiding Anne Frank. Making it one of their core tourist attractions. And yet when modern day digital Anne Frank is on their turf they hand them over without question.
Who is “they” on a decentralised platform?
Who is being crass now?
I think you’re telling us more about yourself than anything else.
I love my job. I make a great salary, there’s a clear path to promotion, and a never-ending supply of cold brew in the office. And even though my job requires me to commit sociopathic acts of evil that directly contribute to making the world a measurably worse place from Monday through Friday, five days a week, from morning to night, outside work, I’m actually a really good person.
Let me give you an example…
Bleeding money expanding as fast as they could so nobody else got there first.
Huge capital investment to capture the market, and as you rightly put it, exploit with all of the aforementioned shit.
But that doesn’t mean they had to go down that route. Income via vaguely targeted advertising has been a standard practice for decades by newspapers, radio stations, and TV channels. They could have improved upon that old model without turning to the evil manipulators and spyware companies they are now.
Take, for example, DuckDuckGo, this is their model:
It is a myth that search engines need to track you to make money. The majority of our revenue is from private ads on our search engine. On most other search engines, ads are based on profiles compiled from your personal information, such as search, browsing, and purchase history. Since we don’t have that information per our Privacy Policy, search ads on DuckDuckGo are based on the search results page you’re viewing instead of being based on who other companies and their tracking algorithms assume you are as a person. For example, if you search for cars, we’ll show you ads about cars. We’ve even created a way to show localized ads while still keeping you completely anonymous.

No, just not as profitable.
They could have had guaranteed medium long term return, if they played nice. But now there’s backlash against both the brands and even the very concept of that form of social media.
So they’ve had high short term gain that could all come collapsing down relatively soon.
Adjusted for inflation. Some games may be years old.
What did you end up choosing as your replacement?
I have a TV streaming device that needs replaced and I’ve struggled to decide what to replace it with.

Why does the state need to count votes quickly? Votes should be counted accurately, not quickly.
Total number of votes cast doesn’t really change anything, because total number of counters and witnesses can also be increased relatively. The USA has a 5 times larger population than the UK but that doesn’t mean it takes 5 times longer to count.
And again, accuracy is more important than speed.

Fascism begins the moment a ruling class, fearing the people may use their political democracy to gain economic democracy, begins to destroy political democracy in order to retain its power of exploitation and special privilege.

And the people in the houses
All went to the university
Where they were put in boxes
And they came out all the sameAnd there’s doctors and lawyers
And business executives
And they’re all made out of ticky-tacky
And they all look just the sameAnd they all play on the golf course
And drink their martinis dry
And they all have pretty children
And the children go to schoolAnd the children go to summer camp
And then to the university
Where they are put in boxes
And they come out all the same
“miss”
I don’t know if there is a website dedicated to making it easier for folks to jump ship

Nvidia announcing AI CEO when?
No risk of honeypotting when the CEO ain’t got the need to lust. And it would solidify that their money is where their mouth is in terms of confidence in AI being “super intelligent” (and hopefully result in their downfall, but shh…)
