    Still don’t get it - someone makes a comment, bots upvote it so it gets seen by more people. Not really going to change the world.

        Oh boy, I, for one, love the taste of Diet Coke, the perfect refreshing drink when you and your family watch my new movie, “Barbie”, only in theaters July 21st.

      Yeah, but this can give you popularity and attention that people crave and it will be pretty damn useful in scamming others too.
