Why does shitjustworks have so many bots? I see certain communities like this where brand new accounts just spam random images. I have a dozen new accounts blocked every day and it’s getting tedious.

What is their purpose?

To what end are they posting? What’s the endgame? To make their website show up higher on search results? Eventually posting advertisements? Poking around for bugs? Surely they’re earning no money from posting nonsense to the fediverse.
