Seems like they are combing profile key words and punting users the last 24 hours. Harmless phrases, acronyms from words Kennedy said. Nothing hateful or inciting but does label them as identifying with a certain spirit or community.

Not if they are a cost center for the propaganda machine. In Soviet Union no one cared how much Pravda earned from the subscriptions, since it was not their purpose.
