I have hot takes on Treyvon Martin’s girlfriend that couldn’t read her own signature and how to address homelessness by punishing politicians pay for increasing rates… that’s how I prove I’m not a bot.

Sure. If you turn on "show dead" you will see half a dozen green-named (i.e., recently established) accounts that are obviously "agents". They're clogging up the pipe with noise. We as a collective are well-positioned to fight back and help protect the commons from the monster we have created.

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.

I am simultaneously grateful that you told us about this, and also kind of wish I didn't know. There's so much.
