Dead internet theory https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dead_Internet_theory
And the ISP companies complain about how they “couldn’t handle the additional bandwidth” of things like streaming services as they became more popular - at least not without charging everyone more. Come to find out it’s bots consuming the bandwidth. But hey, why waste an opportunity to profit.
That's a remarkably terrible Wikipedia article
Probably entirely fabricated by bots. /s
