These are "influencer" programs. Even if they are bots or partially bots or shills, or just Pavlov's dogs, they have to respond. The context doesn't seem to matter, everything they post sets a specific tone for communication. The tone, along with the low information hardwired low character limits, along with the way information is absorbed by minds in the form of constant "feeds" saturated with this kind of tone and low info low awareness content is going to have the desired effect to the big picture on the NPC minds. Even in counterargument, the tone and mental laziness is the actual programmed behavior, not the ideas and information itself. In perfect operation it is basically Pavlov's dogs programming more Pavlov's dogs.

Twitter (Mockingbird) is a terrifying tool.
The block function works wonders, I think I have at least two or three of those idiots blocked.
