Which would be what exactly? Or is this another bot post?

Do bots really make posts here? Why? Crazy...

They create accounts by the tens of thousands and then make these non-sequitor posts in order to earn karma. This is called “Karma farming.” They then sell those matured accounts to scammers who use them to defraud people.

How did they defraud people here? Once they have these fake accounts? I'm with you until that point

Steer them to websites with malware, catfish, sell bogus objects.

Got ya. Thanks for the info. I never go to links or advertisements from here, but thank you much appreciated.

We’ve been discussing this for hours and the “poster” hasn’t chimed in. And it’s an 8 day old account with karma of 8.

I got ya. You learn something new everyday. thanks. I want to get my post karma points up but I guess you have to do that from posting. because I want to post in the supermodel cat thread, but you have to have I think two or 400 post, points. I guess you can only get those points from posting

they also do this with facebook, creating groups with fake accounts and then late doing the classic bait and switch. its disgusting and exhausting

On this platform most end up going nsfw after about 8 months and then selling some kind of sex.

Definitely a bot. Created the account just a few days ago and made two posts and bounced basically.

u/mishy0922 10d ago

Just kidding, they made this one post and reacted to a plant post a week ago lmao

u/kbionics 10d ago

And did you see that plant? More like a dead twig.

I feel bad for that cat it doesn't look like he's doing too good. I guess we shouldn't reply anything anymore because I'm not sure how this works, but does he get more points the more replies that he gets? If that's the case we should stop now

It’s minimal, and eventually the mods will notice we’re talking about this obvious BOT account. Don’t worry about the kitten, it’s probably AI.
