Why are there so many pornographic reply bots on Twitter?

1.12K viewsOtherTechnology

Anyone who’s spent time on Twitter in the past few months especially has probably run into or at least heard of the “P U S S Y I N B I O”-type replies that posts regularly seem to attract.

Why are they so prevalent? Are they actually so successful that it’s worthwhile to do this? I do not understand who benefits from these, because there cannot be so many people clicking on these links that they’re effective… Can there?

Imagine that you have to ban 10 bots per day. After a few years, some dude deletes the blacklist to promote ‘free speech’. A whole flood of bots is now back to do bot stuff.

Renaming your brand to a porn associated letter does not improve the case.

And people do click links. Even people in IT, who are supposed to know the risks, click on url’s in fraudulent mails. People are curious and the FOMO rate on social-media users is pretty high.
