bait them into an argument
keep them going
respond and block finally
Check if they posted anything in the interim.
If they haven't theres a high probability they're an NPC scripted by some pajeet.
Why and how?
The people programming these are lazy fucks who hire dirt cheap. Most of the scripts coming out of these shitholes don't
check for exceptions or even implement try/catch blocks.
The minute something goes wrong in a comment chain that a script is running, the whole thing unwinds and likely has to be manually restarted.
These scripts are fire-and-forget and are likely only restarted on cron jobs, because again, the people making them are retarded and lazy.
So if you bait someone into an argument (or they bait you), respond and block them, and then if no follow-on comments happen on their account for 30-60 minutes or more, theres a good chance you just found a astroturf account probably running on something like selenium (now that phantom is dead).
Just my nickles worth.
