Approximately what portion of tweets are said to be bot-created?

• A. 5%
• B. 10%
• C. 50%
• D. Over 25%

Answer: (D)

Bots on social platforms can produce content at a much faster rate than human users, so they can account for a substantial chunk of overall activity. Studies and expert commentary have repeatedly estimated that bot-generated tweets comprise more than a quarter of tweet volume, thanks to nonstop posting, scheduling, and amplification through retweets and coordinated campaigns. Because of this high posting capability, the share tends to stay above 25%, making “over 25%” the best general approximation. While there are contexts where the share can be higher or estimates vary, the idea remains that bot-created content constitutes a sizable portion of Twitter activity, not just a small minority.
