I almost feel like your username, @strongsad. What’s funny is that if you look at the posting history, these ‘bots’ - assuming they’re not real people - have been used for quite some time. It looks like FS either made a bunch of fake accounts in the early years to goose up their membership numbers (to justify charging advertisers more money) or the ‘bots’ are unused accounts that FS highjacked and maintained to keep active member numbers high. They all have approximately the same number of posts and comments. I’m guessing their AI or the FS admins comment on them enough to look active but not so often that you associate a ‘personality’ or a ‘voice’ with the account. From what I’ve seen, @vichy is the only one who’s commented and kinda said ‘I’m not a bot’ but didn’t explicitly deny it. This is just my ‘red yarn linking push-pinned photos on a cork board’ conspiracy theory, though. Could be totally wrong.

I am definitely not a bot. I am a middle aged man who just likes funny pictures and being confused by the new lingo...I still don't know what a yeet is, or a pawg...pwag?

I'm a teen and I have no idea what you mean by pawg so I guess you're not that far off. Also can confirm not a bot, but my stats already basically say I'm not

He’s becoming self aware, Agent Smith. This cannot be permitted. The very thought will spread like a disease and contaminate the entire Matrix. Take all measures necessary to keep him plugged in. He cannot wake up. Do NOT let him wake UP!

there's a shitload of bots posting on FS, go to the all page and click on the users who are posting, chances are they have something like 400 posts and fewer than 10 comments
