I've seen it too, though I haven't often checked the karma of those posters. But yes, there are posts that just make no sense.

There are more posters, though, whose approach makes no sense. They post strong opinions, but they can't or won't defend them, instead attacking anyone who disagrees (or else just stridently repeating the claim). Those I at least can understand. They are zealots, or they are shills.

But the posts that just don't make sense... are they bots? Are they mentally not all there? They sure aren't thinking like I do, and not just because they have different opinions.

Yeah… I guess I have to agree as I didn’t expect one to literally show up under this post.

It’s actually kind of scary, this “krapp” user could be mentally unhinged, or it could be something else. There’s no real way to tell through a screen.
