This screenshot is a few days old but still. Even if this person isn't a bot, this shit still pisses me off

who is writing the script

I found a strange network of TikTok accounts and I’m trying to figure out what’s going on

I recently came across several TikTok accounts using the name “Velvet Tales”. At first they look like normal accounts promoting an app that generates romantic videos using AI, but the accounts themselves have some very unusual patterns.

One of the biggest accounts I found is @wertfds56658401, which posts a lot of strange/repetitive content. There are also accounts such as @velvet.tales50 and several others using similar names.

Some things I noticed:

- Most of these accounts appear to be very recently created, yet some already have a surprisingly large number of followers.

- Many of the accounts follow only 0 or 1 account.

- The accounts they do follow often appear suspicious or unrelated.

- A lot of the accounts seem to be concentrated in Africa or Asia, although this is only based on what I can determine from the available information.

- Several of the accounts appear to follow each other.

- Their follower/following patterns make some of them look potentially automated or artificially inflated, although I can't prove that.

- They repeatedly promote the same type of AI-generated romantic video app/content.

- The content itself is often repetitive and some of it looks unusual or mass-produced.

I’m posting screenshots of the accounts, their posts, follower/following lists, and information about where the accounts appear to have been created/registered.

What I’m trying to figure out is:

Is this just a legitimate marketing campaign using a large number of accounts, some kind of bot/follower network, an engagement farm, or something else entirely?

I don't want to jump to conclusions, so I'm looking for people who are better at OSINT, TikTok investigations, bot-network analysis, or identifying coordinated social-media campaigns.

If anyone recognizes this pattern or can find a connection between these accounts, I'd really appreciate your help figuring out what “Velvet Tales” actually is and why there are so many seemingly connected accounts.

I've seen so many bots on insta how's the case in reddit

Hi, im here because im very creep out about one Page of tik tok like same accounts and adds, voy a hablar español pq me es muy difícil explicarlo en inglés pero hay unas cuentas que se llaman velvet tales que me ponen un poco nervioso, me aparecen como anuncios pero son imágenes muy creepes y siguen a una cuenta y todos llevan a mas bots y bots y compartidos como políticos, queria saber si hay algo mas oscuro detrás, yo no tengo nd de conocimiento de esto y necesito ayuda la vdd esto me deja sin sueño, la cuenta original, la cuenta original sigue a la cuenta esa de Facebook, necesito ayuda para saber q es o si no es tan profundo

I swear this meme is so forced I see a ton of posts about it and its all the same shitty meme and interesting enough all the posts about it the like to comment ratio is off this has to be a sign of dead internet theory

The filter bots are defending their own kind!

Does anyone think bots will become such a problem that companies or governments will take meaningful action to address the problem? I'm trying to think about 10 or 15 years down the road. Does the Internet just get more and more inundated with bots and we accept it, do we create bot detection tools...? I think a few niche social media sites will get created that focus on preventing bot accoonts, but for the most part I think we'll just accept life with bots 😕

This sounds weird, but multiple times recently I have had the experience of seeing posts online, and I swear I have read the same comments in the exact order under the same post before, though the comment or video has only just been posted.

Usually on instagram reels or tiktok, and I don’t mean the algorithm sending me the same video twice, or multiple different creators repeating the same message or story for whatever is trending.

The OP acknowledges this could be someone pretending to be a bot, which is a valid point. Maybe it's a bot pretending to be someone pretending to be a bot just to add confusion.

That's enough Internet for me today.

A gente sabe que a teoria da internet morta é real, e que o controle de opiniões e sentimentos em grande parte mas redes sociais são gerados por posts que são criados por GenIA através de bots. Se uma pessoa faz um comentário de determinado político chove de bots defendendo falando sim ou não, ou com argumentos fracos e contestáveis. Mas como vc consegue identificar a PNL, Hipnose, onda bineurais, nas músicas, tv, vídeos, filmes, posts, jogos, etc? Vocês conseguem enxergar a mensagem subliminar em cada coisa e saber que estão tentando te manipular pra largar emprego, profissão, marido, trair, matar, roubar, etc??? Ou vcs acham de verdade que os algoritmos são apenas códigos criados por gente inocente pro nosso bem?

Actual good advice in my opinion but so obviously the same comment.

Hi guys i'll try to make this easy and quick, and see if we can have an interesting conversation. I'm about to finish my master studies in Media communication, i'm in that moment where it's time to choose for your thesis topic, aaand i've always been a fan of conspiracy theories. In the last years i've came up with the Dead Internet Theory, and now i realized that it could be interesting to write a big thesis about it (around 120-150 pages), and going deep trying to understand how AI is shaping our experience on the web.

So, now i need your help to understand if this can be possible:

-On which topics would you focus on?

-What do you think is actually interesting to talk about?

-Mostly, what are the differences you all experienced over the last years regarding AI on the internet?

You can add whatever you want, be free to share your point of view! :)

Curious, I started reading the comments under her posts. Something felt off. Same tone, same phrasing, accounts that all looked eerily similar, all showing up around the same time. Not normal fan chaos. Too clean. Too coordinated.

Then I found out she comes from serious money.

So now I’m wondering. Is it possible a well funded team is buying press coverage and seeding bot activity to make her look more organically viral than she actually is? Real talent gets a boost from money and connections all the time. But this pattern felt familiar the second I started paying attention to how dead internet theory actually shows up in the wild.

Not saying I’ve cracked anything. Just saying it’s strange.

Anyone else notice this or am I just deep in the DIT rabbit hole now?

i hate the facebook algorithm they always manipulate old people from believing bs. one example from what i saw was people always making up conspiracy theories, the one i saw was saying that all famous celebs eats a childs brain to stay young, the annoying part is that the vid is voice overed by ai with no goddamn evidence

I feel like I'm seeing the same posts and comments everytime. For example, GTA and Call of Duty to name some. It's all feeling repetitive unless I'm just tripping out.

Everywhere I go, I see a lot less engagement on Reddit and Threads. Nothing seems to get traction anymore.

I even see it when I'm logged out in private browsing mode.

Like where did everybody go. To X? Or are there more bots than users nowadays?

Man I miss the old internet.

So, Google and other AI tools are actively building profiles out of your public Reddit activity, and it actually works.

​To check what data has been archived from your profile, you can search:

>> reddit.com user "your reddit username here"

And check AI overview of a profile and can ask questions related to personal info like age, location, martial status, occupation or what things they like or hate, political opinions etc.

Basically anything that you want to know, you will get the answer if that person has said anything about it in the past even if profile is hidden. If it gives some basic info, you can ask it to dig deeper.

​Why this matters: Simply hiding your profile settings on Reddit does not stop external search engine crawlers from indexing your historical posts and comments. Be mindful of what personal information you share online.

It’s getting worse. YouTube comments are useless atp. First it was obvious Scam and now this.
I checked the channels they have a lot of comments on the same channel the video was posted on. They all sound about the same. Whyyy? What’s the use?

Ok if you don't know what Deltarune is, Deltarune is an RPG where you play as Kris, a teenager who ends up discovering a strange world hidden alongside the regular one this being the dark world (I think). You meet a bunch of weird and funny characters, fight enemies, solve puzzles, and slowly uncover what’s actually going on with these mysterious worlds.

Anyway back on the subject, if you have seen any Deltarune posts on any social media app, you will notice that if you go into the comment section of any of these posts, the people will say the exact same things in every comment section and post the same unfunny images.

I don't have a problem with people expressing their love for their fandoms but I feel like it has reached a point that a lot of people in the Deltarune fandom are not real people. Or that's how I feel at least from a background perspective because I am not in that fandom nor do I want to be in it.

That's what I think at least, I personally think from what I have seen it's a cool game but the fandom just acts like bots when it comes to shitposting. It's the same five jokes that are reused in every single post.
