It's even worse. They're not limited to new accounts. I've seen a lot of bots now from accounts that are literally years old but with zero activity that suddenly start posting a lot of comments within a span of 24 to 48 hours. I have some examples of them if you search my recent comments.

- MicKillah 8mo agoWelp, I just might get flagged by your method then. I lurk extensively on this site. I haven’t figured out how to “fit in”.
- thethirdone 8mo agoYou would not. You don't normally post lots of comments. The occasional return after a long period of inactivity is not in itself suspicious.
- AstroBen 8mo agoI've seen this too. What's confusing is they don't seem to be accomplishing anything? They're not pushing products What's the point? To prime the account for later?
- thomasingalls 8mo ago"can the bot army push average opinion x% in this innocuous topic?" it could very easily be a/b testing a propaganda system.
