They are harvesting interactions. It's attention hijacking.

Could you say more about this?

Sure. They are hyperaware of the followership & clickrate on threads they join. Their timing is discipled. Similar tactics for friend & foe. Their use of language is disciplined but dismissive to their targets. They check in with allies. Lee is piece o'work technically speaking.

@generativist had an excellent thread on attention hijacking yesterday. I'll try to link. -
That is... Fascinating. So... It's like a hobby? Or is there some monetary or prestige benefit? I guess some people "attention hijack" in real life, too. But that's smth we're used to, we just dismiss them as annoying, unpleasant people
And there they don't address thousands. -
How do you address and stop the hijacking in your opinions?

This is a good question. Skepticism is fuel; one can simply turn that intensity to one's own purpose. Keep on your game. Make rich art.

FWIW I've been gaining a really big number of followers of mostly women mostly psych and neuro scis since these troll/anon attacks started this week. Like it's in the 100s
