I understand that having a lot of followers has tremendous advantages on X/Twitter where content creators receive royalties. But why create an automated account on Bluesky that follows 2.4k other accounts within 19 minutes? What can you achieve with this strategy? Can anybody enlighten me, please?

Clay Risen (@risenc.bsky.social) wrote an obit about a principled guy who did everything right and got fired anyway. Those who listened to him, saved a lot of money.
The NYT's obits have been consistently one of the best sections of the paper for a long time.

Elise Stefanik went from moderate to full MAGA and pretty much supported Trump whenever she could. Recently, Ms Stefanik had to realise that all her efforts didn't pay off. Trump's promises to allies are worth next to nothing and his interests constantly shift.
