What is a "real thing"?

Like Bosch using IOTA to build smart cities in China?

Name say, four of these smart cities they've built with IOTA, those would be real things. In contrast, even though the city council is a real thing, and candidates for city councillor are real people, and the leaflets through my door are real pieces of paper, the pictures of a would-be councillor "Yogic flying" do not mean that it's actually possible to levitate using the power of your mind. Yogic Flying is not a real thing in the sense we mean.

It references @iotatoken which is the official twitter feed for IOTA.

Yes. Tweet appears to have been deleted in the last few hours.

The reddit shill story I linked to is also showing as [REMOVED], but someone in this thread found the archive.is link for that shill story and posted it in this thread.

Here it is. http://archive.is/vvwl5
