These bots are the perfect targets for showing ads about 5G given how interested they are in it! Maybe someday we can just do away with human run accounts.

WasteNet: A botnet designed to waste as much advertising cash as possible as quickly as possible.

Download the Chrome extension and you can "adopt" bots which will be used to destroy more and more ad value.

Move over white males ages 18 - 34, the new most valuable demographic will be 1 - 2 week olds who are digital bots.
