Updated data on Twitter before/after @ChuckWendig being fired from @Marvel/@StarWars. The new part is the number of bots (fully automated accounts) tweeting about Wendig. I'm amazed by how many bots there were.pic.twitter.com/SIfpYynvVx

FAQs: I used @Botometer to code bots. Anon. accounts are suspiciously generic. It isn't based on if someone uses a real name/picture. (Not sure how I’d know). Anon is unverified + no user description. Puppets are unverified and tweet a lot (>70/day, inc. retweets).
NB: An automated/semi-automated account can take cues from a pundit account (like EVS) without the pundit knowing or doing anything special. It is the same principle as the algorithms that are continually monitoring your feed and picking ads for you to see.
Once again, amazing work, Bethany!
The point is that if Disney/Marvel is making hiring and firing decisions (yes, also for Roseanne Barr) based on outrage that is artificially amplified by bots and trolls that shouldn't be taken seriously, it's a real problem.
Hm. Twenty percent. Not really sure what to think of that number. I wonder what kind of tweets they were? Also, it's interesting to see how much less people gave a damn about the tweetstorm before someone decided to shine a spotlight on it.
so you again took bits of data you wanted, named the parts of it what you wanted to name it, and then decided to declare it 100% accurate, then say its all bots..... again? to do what now? prove no real humans care about chuck at all to tweet about him?pic.twitter.com/OiQtucFVXn
She ignored just how many likes he got. I've seen his twitter account. Most of his tweets get under 200 likes. Ever. These were over a 1,000 in just a few hours. I have no idea where they ended up. Fact is, these tweets were outliers and that's all she's shown.
Entirely weak and unconvincing. More likely he did stepped over the line and people responded, both good and bad. It's called 'going viral.'pic.twitter.com/VfOHpGN1dt
