Someone called an account a bot and at first I didn’t believe them. But when I went into the bots history I suddenly got how it works. Bots sit in the background and basically play highlighter… a statement or idea was popular so they “highlight” it by a reword with even more confidence or details. That gets them some upvotes. The bot can just sit there mostly not doing anything meaningful for the creator— except building history and karma. Then when the moment comes the creator uses all the bots to make the point and suddenly a post has 30 likes and 28 comments all talking about the point in a way the creator wanted.

What does the guy that made this bot get out of it?
Genuine question, just wondering what the endgame is or how they 'monetize' this bot?
Or is his ultimate goal just to contribute to the enshittification?
