> “This is most evident when the content in question is extremely low-quality, comically absurd or offensive in some way,” Schoolcraft added. “Whether it's a child transforming into a water bottle cyborg, a three-armed flight attendant rescuing Tiger Jesus from a muddy plane crash, or a hybrid human-monkey baby being stung to death by giant hornets, all tend to have copy+pasted captions, reactions & comments which usually make no sense in the observed context. It's as if everything from the creation of the images, to the daily management of the accounts, to their fan base and interactions, has been automated to optimize whatever revenue stream this genre helps generate.”
What exactly is the revenue stream of bots talking to bots? I see how Facebook would make money from this, but not how all the people involved in creating these bots would benefit.

So it seems to be a scam, where they don't even hope to display content to real users, just fake engagement and get paid by FB
