How do bots work on message boards?

I'm asking because I truly have no idea. I just started thinking about it when the one "We are the bad guys" comment in the last Russia/Ukraine thread was polling at a smoldering 79 percent upvotes.

I feel like I am in the Twilight Zone. Strange and fricked up times we're living in!

One of the most ridiculous revelations in the Twitter files was that this Hamilton 68 operation, which was supposedly tracking Russian bots that pushed a hashtag to release Devin Nunes' memo that would have exonerated Trump, was totally lying. Twitter knew it and didn't say anything.

I've asked how one gets 100k posts. Do people post every thought they have or is there some way these folks manipulate their post counts?

Solid information. I honestly didn't know that.

So is it all of these troll farms that I read about, the ones with all of the inbred-looking Russian teenage dudes burning the midnight oil?

I don't think bots on message boards are an issue. Dumbasses are.

Think of the exposure of X vs. TigerDroppings/TexAgs (etc.) There's not much payoff to come to train bots on sites other than X, FB, LinkedIn, etc. Charging people even 50 cents to be able to post to X/Twitter would clear out a ton of trash.
