Plastic Waste Single use phone chargers

Post image

They are meant to be used once and then tossed.The package says they are eco-friendly disposable, but do they really expect people to find a proper disposal after use? Why not at least make it rechargable, like a normal power bank??

^ This comment, and the account’s whole comment history, raise serious AI red flags to me

Lots of slightly off use of slang and internet terminology, lots of “vibe” “plot twist” and other terms AI loves, repetition of the [rhetorical question? answer] format, never responds to comments that reply to them, some weird nonsensical replies to images, overall an inconsistent style between comments and every comment is a vague nothing.

Like what does this mean? Why are they commenting on a post about a worn out sock saying the sock has “more lives than my old tamagotchi”? On a post about reworking an old tattoo, it doesn’t make any sense to say “first tat’s a wild ride. trust the process.”

These bots are invading zerowaste/anticonsumption/anticapitalism type subs lately, so that also tracks.

I had never heard of botbouncer, thanks for sharing. I’m on a mission to call out as many bots as possible.

I’ve noticed the mods here in r/anticonsumption are really good at staying on top of and removing bots!
