8ch bots?

Has anyone else found...

few examples

The twitter account for "Holla Forums /polk/"

It retweets threads from the board. Has thousands of followers even though the board itself hovers around 20 unique ISPs.

What the fuck is going on?

Please restrain your paranoia. /8pol/ split from Holla Forums and /leftpol/ split from Holla Forums, so it makes sense that people might post the same thread across those boards, in order to get to what was once a unified community. The twitter thing probably is bots. I don't see anything amazing about some NEET who hasn't been out of the house in a month not knowing the day of the week.

Just crossposters. One of the threads from your screenshot even says "kind of here to shill".
You just don't understand them.
I'm pretty sure they're run by NT Technology. I mentioned a TempleOS-themed Twitterbot to Jim and shortly after that it was followed by the /christian/ bot. The number of followers is probably because of reciprocate follows.

Another fake twitter account.

Thousands of followers, yet no comments, likes, or retweets.

Wow, big news!

You retarded faggot, it's used as a feed for new threads. It's run by cuckmonkey. Lurk 92 years.
