I use to think you were joking that you thought I was Eric. Now it seems you are serious Imagine thinking someone with 400k Twitter followers would have the time or reason to post on a political board with hundreds of active participants....

But what prompt are you using for individual posters?

Every time I try to do it it gets stuck on a specific thread, then I exclude it and it gets stuck on another specific thread

And I’m using the grok feature on X. Is that different? Says grok3 beta


Here is one for you:

Can you tell me about OBReb6 posting style on tigerdroppings political talk for the last two years?


quote:

Let’s dive into OBReb6’s posting style on TigerDroppings.com’s Political Talk board over the last two years—March 2023 to March 6, 2025. Without real-time access to the full forum, I’m piecing this together from specific threads, user mentions, and the board’s broader context, supplemented by what’s surfaced on X or elsewhere. OBReb6’s a known quantity, so here’s a rundown of his approach, tone, and how he rolls based on what’s available.

Profile Snapshot
OBReb6 joined in July 2010 and has racked up 38,299 posts by August 22, 2024 (per “This is a first in my entire voting life” thread). That’s roughly 6-7 posts a day over 14 years, but we’re zeroing in on the last two. He’s based in “Memphissippi” (a Memphis-Mississippi mashup), hinting at a Southern conservative bent that fits PT’s vibe. His post count’s lower than giants like SlowFlowPro (412,000) or GumboPot (128,000), but he’s no lightweight—active enough to leave a mark.

Posting Style: The Last Two Years
Tone and Voice

OBReb6’s got a dramatic, almost prophetic edge—think Old Testament meets barstool rant. In “This is a first in my entire voting life” (August 22, 2024), he replies to Geekboy: “It’s going to get worse every year until the American Caesar or Franco arises. Or for that matter Mao, and then it’s over.” It’s terse, fatalistic, and leans hard into historical parallels—Caesar, Franco, Mao—like he’s channeling a doomsday playbook. This isn’t chit-chat; it’s a pronouncement. Same thread, he nods Seldom Seen with “I’ve always felt that way,” showing he’s quick to align but keeps it short.

Elsewhere, like “Ivermectin” (undated, likely 2023), he’s credited for “compelling evidence” on prophylaxis, though he doesn’t post directly—suggesting he’s got a rep for meaty takes even if not always the OP. His style’s not jokey like Seldom Seen’s exclamation-point spam or SlowFlowPro’s dry snark—it’s serious, weighty, like he’s lecturing from a soapbox.

Content and Themes

Over 2023-2025, OBReb6 sticks to PT’s red-meat lanes: anti-establishment, distrust of elites, and a whiff of apocalyptic stakes. The August 2024 thread ties his Nixon vote (1972) to MAGA’s “anti-empire, anti-corporate” gripes, per Big Scrub TX’s reply—he’s not just reminiscing; he’s linking past to present. No QAnon rabbit holes like TxTiger82 or GumboPot’s Spygate dives—OBReb6’s more about big-picture gloom than conspiracy minutiae.

He’s not a thread-starter king—John Barron or GumboPot dominate there—but he drops in with gravitas. Think “Karoline Leavitt vs. KJP” (Feb 4, 2025), where PT cheers Trump’s press secretary; OBReb6’s silence doesn’t mean absence—he’s likely nodding along in spirit. His style’s less about sparking fights, more about reinforcing the choir with a stern “told you so.”

Frequency and Engagement

His 38,299 posts by mid-2024 suggest a steady clip—maybe 2-3 daily in recent years, down from his peak. He’s not flooding like GumboPot (20/day) or SlowFlowPro (50/day), but he’s consistent. Replies to him—like Y.A. Tittle’s in “This is a first” (2024)—get neutral traction (0-10 likes), not viral heat. He’s not a meme lord or troll baiter; he’s a commentator, not a circus ringleader. The “Ivermectin” nod hints peers see him as a source, even if he’s not always front-and-center.

How PT Sees Him
OBReb6’s not a lightning rod like Hugo Stiglitz or a clown like GeauxZone90—he’s respected, or at least not reviled, by PT’s conservative core. No one’s trashing him as “dumbassery” (Seldom Seen’s diss) or “cuck” (Warrior Poet’s fate). His August 2024 take drew Big Scrub TX’s thoughtful reply, not mockery—suggesting he’s taken seriously, even if not a top dog. X skips him (unlike GumboPot’s “Alex Jones” tag), but PT’s vibe—90:10 right-wing per 2023 threads—puts him in safe territory. He’s no CajunReb “GOAT,” but he’s not scraping bottom with HailHailtoMichigan! either.

Style Summary
Tone: Grim, authoritative, historical—less snark, more sermon.
Content: Anti-elite, collapse-is-coming warnings, MAGA-adjacent but not conspiratorial.
Pace: Steady, not spammy—quality over quantity lately.
Engagement: Solid, not flashy—reinforces, doesn’t ignite.
Verdict
OBReb6’s posting style over the last two years is a slow burn—deliberate, dour, and dialed into PT’s distrustful ethos. He’s not chasing clout with 70-reply threads (GumboPot’s turf) or needling like SlowFlowPro; he’s the guy at the bar muttering about Rome’s fall while everyone nods. Respect’s implied—he’s no punching bag—but he’s not stealing the spotlight either. Think B-tier vet: reliable, not revered.

Style Summary
Tone: Sarcastic, combative, take-no-prisoners—PT’s id unleashed.
Content: MAGA staples—immigration, Trump, anti-progressive barbs—less conspiracy, more culture war.
Pace: High-octane—17 posts/day keeps him in the mix, starting and stoking fights.
Engagement: Strong—threads hum, replies land, he’s a catalyst not a ghost.
Verdict
SDVTiger’s posting style is pure Political Talk DNA—aggressive, MAGA-to-the-bone, and built for the scrum. He’s not crafting essays or chasing nuance; he’s hurling Molotovs and grinning. Respect’s high among the faithful—82,000 posts and counting ain’t luck—but he’s no unifier. Lefties and squishes (HailHailtoMichigan!, BurntOrangeMan) get no quarter, and he wouldn’t want their nods anyway. He’s a top-10 PT brawler—maybe not the champ, but a damn loud contender. If I had every 2023-2025 post, I’d clock his hit rate tighter

ChatGPT is providing the direct links for its sourcing (which it didn't do last time).

Yes. It looks like it makes its assessments from "20 webpages". Not enough for real life but enough for entertainment purposes.

That's why I'm bringing it up.

I don't dabble as much in these base AI programs anymore and use deeper ones to evaluate for business purposes, but finding out their limitations/biases is fun when I revisit them.

Even Rogan seems to have just stopped giving a frick. I mean, he never did, but he’s allowing a different spectrum of extremist have a voice lately

An hour or so ago I saw Antonio Brown posted on Twitter a pic of him sitting down getting ready for an interview, lmao

Also, I tried the same question on ChatGPT, and you may notice something similar:
Good news ... It found you're a Tier-1 poster

Bad news ... That was on the OT

Hey now!

I haven't even really used exclamation points much at all since I've returned from my two year ban.
