- Bot posts, nonsensical article or meme to community
- Humans are confused and react by posting lots of comments and upvoting and downvoting the post
- Algorithm determines content must be worthy of more humans attention
- Rinse and repeat
- Humans have no idea how much they’re being played by their own creations
