"The project is awesome, don't complain." Commercial bots protect developers from criticism.
Developers across the country are using commercial bots to advertise their products and protect themselves from dissatisfied customers. This was reported to NeMoskva by the project. Botanical Supervision.
"For several years, I've been observing how commercial bot farms are being used in posts mentioning developers. Bots appear in posts mentioning a particular developer, act as advocates, "rejoice" at some news, and engage in discussions with "live" commentators. In my opinion, their main goal is to whitewash the developer in any problems and deflect the negativity directed at them elsewhere.", says the administrator of Botanical Supervision.
Most often, the posts mention the group Aquilonand GC "A101".
Here are some of the most typical comments: "Don't argue, it's just the type of people like that - always dissatisfied," "Come on, they're building entire neighborhoods, and not just in Moscow anymore, but here's one building))," "The project is awesome, no matter how much you grumble, but it's cool that a developer is doing things like this for the city."
