Yeah I read through the linked blog post and came away thinking, it's just bots wasting resources to post nothing into the wild? Why is this interesting? The post mentions a few particular highlights and they're just posts with no content, written in the usual overhyping LLM style. I don't get it.
Me neither, man. How might one describe people who find this fascinating? Slopmoths?

Why would thinking Moltbook is not interesting mean they must not know Subreddit Simulator? Knowing Subreddit Simulator would make Moltbook less interesting.
