Psycho Groupies?!

hi Sharky,

I seem to be being followed this morning by a small tranche of newly added members!
I do not like this.

I suspect it is some bot-type thing.

Anyone else suddenly finding half a dozen or so newly added members following you?
Just me?

We've had an influx of new members in the last hour.

Many are saying hello and following well established members.

They are certainly not bots or spammers, and seem keen to learn.

Perhaps we are trending on Twitter or something?

Yes there is an army of "following" bots.

Just seemed a bit weird to me.
Unless they have been long-time lurkers, and decided to join en masse, rather than complete newbies.
Still seems weird to have someone following me after having joined for less than an hour.

The flash flood seems to be over for now.

Ahhh, the 'newbies' begin posting Ads.

& many have added clickbait links to their profiles.

So, sophisticated bots.
