Not one view in over a month?

I thought that was impossible. Does that mean even the bots look at this particular clickbait and go “Nah”?

(The one view listed is always for the original post, right?)

Is TMC a content aggregator bot? I’m confused because the account seems to have registered in 2001, but all it does is post clickbait articles from other sites, much of it seemingly written by AI.

It wouldn't have been possible 5-10 years ago because Google and Bing would register a view. They can now index pages without actually viewing the thread. Cloudflare has blocked many of the other bot views.

TMC definitely isn't a bot. I doubt he's getting paid to post anything. I'm sure some of those articles are written by AI.

Agree to disagree.

He posted a Bob's Burgers thread on The Simpsons board last week. A bot wouldn't make any mistakes.

Who would be paying him?

I would like to know how he can post 10 different threads within minutes. He must have many tabs or windows open at the same time.

I would also like to know how he incorporates all the links within his posts. That part must take him a very long time.

No bot’s perfect.

Secret bot tech we humans are not privy to.

He's logged in for hours, say in the evening. Then he goes off for a few hours, and he's back in the middle of the night. HeenanFan used to claim he was on other sites; if true, when does he sleep?

I agree, his links all over sentences must take tons of time, particularly in long posts.

I was suspicious of TMC also but he did reply to me one time.. I dunno if a bot would do that. (Unless a human animal was also checking the acct)

He may kick off a script he wrote that does some stuff repetitive stuff, while he researches. Just a guess, of course.

[TJ]

He probably uses AI in some cases. It seems like he has a link for everything. He's obviously very detail oriented when it comes to research.

The only known bot we have on here is BirthdayBot.

He doesn't even have a birthday listed in his profile. I don't think it was required when he registered in 2001.

Many people have their age and/or full date of birth hidden. The birthday threads are only for people have been active in the last 6 months (181 days) and have their date of birth set for public display.

About 7 years ago he joked about getting paid for posting links. I don't know if he was being serious though. This is also one of the only times he's actually talked like a person rather than just linking another site.
