Comments like "X is the right track [...] Then finish with a question?" do have a bit of an LLM smell to them.

The finishing with a question thing is prevalent with both accounts on Twitter, presumably because it "drives engagement" with the accounts.

It's particularly frustrating because it amplifies how much time is wasted - people don't just waste time reading comments by bots, they then invest effort in thinking about and replying to them.
