        The name, the instance, and the commenting behavior all sort of add up to something odd. Then you take the specifics of each comment and how they just seem… bland and vague enough they could have been in reply to anything.

        Just, for instance, look at the two comments made in this post.

          Their comments never contribute anything to the posts, either. Very weird, most bots I see these days are a lot more convincing than this. Curious what’s going on here. Maybe it’s just performance art.
