He arrives late christmas eve or very early christmas morning. So he must start where christmas eve starts and chase the night.

Around here Santa actually visits the kids in their homes on Christmas Eve to deliver presents in person since he starts his round from nearby Korvatunturi. It's funny how often he manages to show up just as some older male relative has to go outside to take care of something and then has to spend the rest of Christmas miffed that they didn't get to meet Santa themselves.

Like if each message has a link to an obvious scam it'd make sense, but random replies don't do anything? Or do they?

Actually came up in the bad with money thread a while back that a lot of the internet scam ecosystem is in itself a scam, tools and playbooks being sold to people that may not actually make any meaningful amount of money off them.

Also if it looks like people are having ***interactions*** with your channel then the algorithm will boost it higher. People also buy & sell social media accounts and a page with a higher follower count sells for more, so there's online services which sell bulk comments/followers/subscribers

Yeah, Dan Olson had an interesting video about a couple of brothers doing that thing. The scam was fairly straightforward: Look at what books are selling on amazon, pay a ghost writer a pittance to poo poo out something in the same niche (at this point probably replaced by LLMs), then self-publish and hope that enough people buy it to make you a bit of a profit. But that was just the surface scam, the real scam was them selling courses and lessons to "teach" that scam to their marks.
