“
bot” → automated or inorganic social media accounts

2024).

bot” isn’t about literal bots—it’s a weaponized
label used in fan wars to discredit credibility, framing the other side as inauthentic, emotional, or manipulated rather than rational.
“Every time someone critiques Kendrick, the K-bots flood the comments.”
“That thread feels kinda K-
bot—no
real discussion, just the same defense over and over.”
“They started K-botting the replies as soon as the numbers
dropped.”
