The Rules

If they're even real. So many bots around these days. And they don't seem to want to listen so it seems like they have an agenda.

But your advice is cogent, if it's a real person without an agenda

Bots, by their very nature, usually have some kind of agenda, and that agenda may be to pretend that they have no agenda at all.

If bots are what worries you, you are voluntarily on a platform that you know has bots that you cannot trust, so you’re going to need to decide whether to remain on a platform you’ve determined that you cannot inherently trust, or leave, and by doing so, not need to be paranoid about the bots on this platform.

Which, of course, is to say that there are similar such bots on other platforms you may choose to visit…

Exhausting, no?
