    Are we sure all these boomers leaving comments aren’t also bots on Facebook?

    They might be there to get the thirst traps traction to get out on all the old creeper’s algorithms in the first place.

      A trick Reddit was pioneering all the way back in the late '00s. Drive engagement by using bots to fake engagement.

      Facebook is bots ONLY. So none of this matters.

          Sure me too, but the boomer I know who fall for this are too cooked to comment about them. They only consume, not participate.
