Is it to lure men into paying for more private pictures or subscribe to their only fans ? Who’s falling for this ?

I am referring to bot profiles with pictures of asses in thongs front and center, commenting with platitudes on high traffic video, especially news channels.

    I don’t know which profiles you’re referring to specifically. However, much like many scams, the goal is likely to be an obvious scam, so that the only people who fall into the trap are the really gullible people. It’s the same reason scammers still use the “Nigerian prince” line. Because the only people who fall for the opener are gullible enough to fall for the entire con.

      Exactly this. Automatically filtering their targets to ones who are likely to be susceptible. Very clever really.
