Politician social media accounts are mostly run be teams of staffers who are literally paid to manipulate the public discourse. They are no different from bots.

We've arrived to a very satisfying conclusion here: politics has always (mostly) been the biggest of all scams. Wether its a team of script writing artists, or the state of the art machine generated content, its the same worthless junk.

You can grade the junk by halflife.

The purpose of a BOT tag isn’t to indicate quality or intent, it’s not even necessarily derogatory. Real people can be asinine and bots can be useful and informative. It’s to indicate the source was a bot. That’s still useful information.

A BOT tag is a great idea. They should also add the option for authors to disable BOT replies in their threads. Best of both worlds.

Excellent idea, with BOT replies disabled by default please. Mostly people don't want BOT posts.
