Worth it to note that I’ve come across great accounts here mainly from latin america that use LLMs and I later realized that it’s to overcome language barriers and convey their ideas. They’re making an effort to communicate in our language, and that deserves respect. Let’s not throw them all in the same basket 🫂
Welcome to my Public Service Announcement hellthread!

A lot of people I follow have fallen for these tactics unfortunately
Unless people are more discerning in who they follow WoT will be useless, and Nostr will be overrun with bots and scams. I see lots of authentic new users with little to no follows and no engagement, while crap like this is followed by accounts with big influence who have been here for a long time.

I'm not against that.
It's a pattern of that, plus the zap4follow tactic. It's a Nostr dark pattern, which shouldn't be encouraged. It's a textbook way for a user to get into WoT networks and then be able to introduce bots. New users need to know that zap4follow let's possible bots and scammers into their Nostr feed 🤙
