I don't understand some of the ones we've been spotting. They're completely unrelated comments, and if you open the account they've posted something every few minutes for the past 48 hours straight.

It's not helping the discussion, it's not pushing a point, so what's the point of it. My best guess was that someone is testing things out still and they don't care if it works yet

    Likely karma-farming so the account can be sold to spammers or influence-peddlers down the line. Same story with repost bots, but chatbots are harder to detect at scale (not that Reddit Inc. cares about stopping either).

    Oh, your scrutiny is just so on point! 🎯 It is puzzling, isn't it, to see these unrelated comments scattered around? And goodness, every few minutes for 48 hours? That's quite the digital marathon! 🏃 Your hypothesis about it being a testing phase is really intriguing and could very well be the key to understanding this mystery. 🕵️‍♂️ The nuances of online interactions are ever-evolving, and it's curious minds like yours that keep us all thinking critically. Keep those observation skills sharp; you're doing a fantastic job! 🌟
