It seemed to me, last time I commented on Breitbart and that was months ago, that several commenters were automated. When you clicked on their profile thing that shows how many comments they make they were huuuuge numbers, 80,000 for one. Maybe I am naive but how does one person have that many comments? Unless they are paid to comment or work for Breitbart.

I am the fifth-ranked at CPF in number of posts, but would point you not to my own obscenely large number of bloviations but to those of #1, #2 and #3 here. (I am but a neophyte compared to these!) Me, I showed up for the doughnuts and hung around for aggravation and nuisance of liberals. Slim pickings lately on that one!

But to answer your question, one of our own here compiled more than 100,000 posts at Another Site™ all five of us came from, and is #4 in posts here. He is not automated. Boo Man is Welsh. The rest of us probably are like me and just wordy and strung out on caffeine.

I know some nonpaid posters that would make 80,000 look like child's play.  But they have been posting for over 25 years.  But then again there are people that posts under 3 to 10 aka.   

I am informed. Thanks for clearing that up. It is still a lot isn't it?

Yeah, that sounds like an absurd number.  My discuss account, which I opened as one of their very first members had accumulated 50 thousand before it was hacked, numbers erased 5 years later and I only have maybe 9 thousand plus.
Add to that my total here, and considering I'm retired and burn damn near all my time educating libs, Id say there is either something mentally wrong with those posters/paid trolls/or one word replies.

But no matter how you slice it, that's not normal, that's Paulbot turned Trumpaloon, a mental illness closely related to stalker syndrome.

I've seen many like he mentions, and many averaged 80 K to 100K within a short amount of time.
Either they are, as I stated, trolling, one word replies, or fraud, or just freakin weird, there is something wrong with that many posts from Trumpaloons.

I still wonder about their actual validity, some lock their profile, while a couple were open, but you could only access the last 60 days of posts, which is weird for Discuss.
Yes, this is Discuss were talking about, Breitbart does not have a membership..
