@attacksn @rubestguy @teddypitcher Although these three accounts theoretically tweet via the Twitter website, they're pretty obviously automated: they maintain a rhythm of tweeting once every ~40 seconds 24 hours a day, 7 days a week (with a couple of apparent outages.)
@attacksn @rubestguy @teddypitcher These bots link an ever-changing lineup of clickbait websites, some of which appear to have been shut down and replaced (leafviralnewss -> leafviralnewss1). 99.97% of tweets contain links (@teddypitcher is presently shadowbanned and thus excluded from portions of this analysis.)
