Main board has been taken over by paid bots

Noticed it during election season and now since inauguration it’s back again. I’m not talking about the usual suspects but actual bots who all parrot the same message with a multi year gap in their posting history. It’s painfully obvious that it’s coordinated
I have noticed this on other boards I frequent with high user bases who are conservative. Anyone else notice this??

What you see as a web page is really just a wall of text. You can right click on a page and click inspect page source.

I applaud you but I almost wish you’d keep this small and simple. It’s inevitable that if this grows it too will be overrun.
