Sometimes one runs across bots (automated accounts) that do multiple seemingly unrelated things, and @yasoo79644697oo is an example. Its most obvious behavior is retweeting tweets containing the word "neoliberal", which it has done at least 1597 times.

Another notable feature of @yasoo79644697oo's Twitter timeline: tweets promoting a variety of Android apps, complete with Google Play Store download links. Several are Twitter automation tools, offering amazing features such as following 100 accounts with a single click.
Each type of tweet posted by @yasoo79644697oo is sent via a different app. The "neoliberal" retweets are tweeted via custom app called "IntelligentAutoUnfollowSetting", while the Android app promo tweets use automation service twittbot(dot)net.
We looked for other accounts promoting the same set of Android apps as @yasoo79644697oo, and indeed found six more, all of which are at least partly automated. Two of them (@amazonofthewor1 and @doyouknowmacdo) have the same profile banner image.
This botnet posts both original tweets and retweets. Original tweets are repetitive and mostly focused on promoting the Android apps mentioned earlier in this thread. Retweets are largely in Japanese, with the exception of the "neoliberal" tweets retweeted by @yasoo79644697oo.
