If these abstracts are taken at face value, the numbers advance that as abounding as one third of Justin Sun’s followers abide of actual, real-life humans.
Statistical mapping of these accounts accurate the aforementioned abominable conclusion.

Social media communities responded with astonishment, with abounding Redditors cogent shock that “only half” of the TRON afterward is artificial.
Meanwhile, at atomic some of those accounts were animal abundant to apprehension they’d been apparent and they promptly took to Twitter to dox the researcher:
Yesterday I was doxed by @no_itsmyturn
