When it comes to whose tweets they copy, some bots have the worst taste. #AltWankers #LilSebastian

@ZellaQuixote We found a trifecta of IFTTT bots that clone nearly every tweet @sebgorka tweets or retweets. @SebGorkaTweets and @CassieMAGA2016 copy Gorka’s tweets in real time (more or less), resulting in schedules similar to Gorka’s own, while @Christo06390451 marches to a different beat.

@ZellaQuixote @SebGorka @SebGorkaTweets @CassieMAGA2016 @Christo06390451 The first of the three bots, @SebGorkaTweets, makes no secret of its function. Indeed, it advertises itself as a means to view Sebastian Gorka’s Twitter feed for those who are blocked by Gorka (although simply logging out or using an alternate account accomplishes the same goal.)

@ZellaQuixote @SebGorka @SebGorkaTweets @CassieMAGA2016 @Christo06390451 Next up, we have @CassieMAGA2016. Unlike @SebGorkaTweets, this bot discloses neither that it is automated nor that it duplicates Gorka’s tweets. Amusingly, 28 of its 42 followers (66.6%, repeating of course) also follow Gorka and thus gain no value from @CassieMAGA2016’s feed.

@ZellaQuixote @SebGorka @SebGorkaTweets @CassieMAGA2016 @Christo06390451 Finally, meet the multitalented @Christo06390451. In addition to cloning Gorka’s tweets, this one also clones Trump tweets, links to Reddit’s /r/worldnews forum, promotes a coupon website (bleeyee(dot)com), and advertises hotels in a variety of cities because of course.
