So how do these new bots make money?


One thing I'm rather curious about is how the new batch of bots get monetized. A lot of them seem to be... generic buzz creators like... "hey why is brand Z not talked about more?? "

And yeah,  clearly they are either automated or at least, not sincere.  I'm curious how they get paid though.  I mean, if you are a reputable manufacturer of consumer goods, do you pay for stuff like that??

@erik_squires I think they are in the R&D phase and they are just practicing.  I don't think they are monitizing their work right now.

@audphile1 I'm not sure they are that advanced yet (on this site) but maybe.

I do make one post to identify them as a bot because otherwise people will start replying to the post like it is a good post, which is the last thing we want to do.

New development. See @gertrude09 in this thread:

Bot joined yesterday.

First post was a paraphrase of my post above his and his second post had a link to some loan organization in it telling the op that after reseeting his streamer and Modem, he should reset his loan with a hyperlink to the target.
