Do they think they're helping, though? The problem with recent leaps in automation is that they're facilitating more scammers and profiteers than people who sincerely want to make the world better.

- add-sub-mul-div 2y agoAnother comment here proposed several guesses. The internet is filling up with slop everywhere and even if a given post isn't directly a scam or advertisement it could be someone simply practicing or trying to make an account look real so it can be later sold or used for profit.
