    Remember when Elon complained about twitter being overrun by bots, and then he tried to get out of buying the company by saying there were too many bots, and then when he bought the company he fired everyone who would have been able to do anything about the number of bots?

      for months they were removing a lot of accounts, watching the follower numbers for the Obama and Beiber accounts drop by 1000’s every day, interestingly muskoid’s followers only ever went up!

      anyway at the end of that period is when I really noticed the come fuk on my page for prizes bots

    I remember a while back when I was actively moderating subreddits, one spammer kept posting imgur gifvs that were a closeup of a vagina. It wasn’t a porn sub or anything. I mean like really close up, this gifv probably has more value to the medical community than the goon community. It was just really gross. And the same gifv every fucking day.
