Eh, they probably just have a feed and post a bunch all at once. I've seen other posters do something similar. Creating 10-15 lemmy posts/day isn't particularly hard if you're literally just copy/pasting links from an RSS feed.

Not saying it's difficult nor all that time consuming. If you are creating 10+ posts a days, rss feed or not you need to revaluate your free time. Essentially you're attempting to sway the opinions of strangers online, all day everyday there's no other reason for that many posts other than attempting to sway others opinions. And that's fucking lame dude

I think it's just attention grabbing, the same thing that motivated people to do it on Reddit (having people recognize your username). I doubt OP is putting a lot of thought into what gets posted (i.e. no agenda), they're merely looking for lots of engagement.

That's even worse. They are then like a stray dog or cat begging for scraps. Sad as fuck really

Perhaps, idk. It's really hard to tell someone's motivations just by looking at posting frequency.

I don't agree.. He/ she or they / them or who the heck ever posts a TON of left leaning political propaganda. Now, I despise trump and musk and pretty much anyone on the right and consider myselfvery far left. But I don't post 10+ times a day about it.

If that's not political motivational posting then what is??

One look at their profile will show the motivation

Perhaps. But this article has nothing to do with left/right ideology. So while they definitely seem to be socialist, I'm not convinced their frequent posting is politically motivated, I think they just have a curated feed, and that includes socialist stuff.

I consider myself pretty centrist and despise both the political left and right. I consider myself Libertarian, and this election has left me really scratching my head because pretty much everything both candidates are pushing for the wrong direction IMO (I don't like tariffs, value balancing the budget, price controls suck, etc).

So I strongly disagree w/ OP's political ideology, but I still don't really have an issue with the posts they make. If I think it's leftist noise, I usually just move on to the next one, but if it's a high quality article, I'll upvote.
