@nikitabier @mvanhorn How far down the list of top accounts do you have to go before you get to one that's not doing this?
Nikita Bier@nikitabier
@paulg @mvanhorn All 30 accounts post content that was posted by other users before them—usually verbatim or with minor modifications—and at a very high volume.
Since running the experiment, their payouts have been reduced by up to 99%.

@paulg @nikitabier @mvanhorn It’s those folks that post nonstop random corny questions & then of course there’s gotta be a bunch of cornball political shmuks that just all reply to the same maga acts. Large accounts have become sooo corny.
