Comment on How to Be an Amateur Bot Hunterparent

Not exactly a bot misinformation campaign, but interesting, thanks.

I think of QAnon types as being a bit muddle-headed. I doubt they're capable of creating a bot campaign. Russia could, but they don't need to: we do it to ourselves.

An Occam/Hanlon's Razor corollary: don't attribute to bots or shills that which idiocy can fully explain.

The Q movement has all the hallmarks of an astroturfing campaign. Don't assume it's just a bunch of idiots.
