    The same way it’s handled on Reddit: moderators.

    Some will get through and sit for a few days but eventually the account will make itself obvious and get removed.

    It’s not exactly difficult to spot these things. If an account is spending the majority of its existence on a social media site talking about products, even if they add some AI generated bullshit here and there to make it seem like it’s a regular person, it’s still pretty obvious.

    If the account seems to show up pretty regularly in threads to suggest the same things, there’s an indicator right there.

    Hell, you can effectively bait them by making a post asking for suggestions on things.

    They also just tend to have pretty predictable styles of speak, and never fail to post the URL with their suggestion.
