Why are these hideous and unreadable fonts suddenly everywhere?

I do apologize, but it is by design. I've discovered it works as a sort of 'captcha' that keeps Twitter bot farms from reading them. If they manage to recognize there's words, they generally shit themselves.

That's interesting in and of itself - I'm all for things that confuse AI.

But out of curiosity, why do you want to confuse Twitter bots?

Genuine question. I'm not on Twitter and I know nothing about the bots on this disater of a platform. But I wonder what reason you might want have to want to prevent them from reading you memes.

Because the Twitter bots reply with inflammatory shit or just straight up misinformation - so I don't wanna deal. It's not about like... Making a name or something- literally just sick of these fucks.
