Yes that's what I am saying, anyone making bot accounts can set up a lightning addresses and program the bots to send 1 sat to trick someone like you into thinking they aren't a bot.

It makes much more sense to look at their replies to check if they're a bot.

Bot farmers send tens, hundreds, thousands, millions of tweets, notes, replies etc with almost ZERO cost. Add one sat to all that bullshit and they now lose all their power to harvest you and your data.
