    “The new verification system will prevent bot spam!” - Some rich guy who has no idea how the internet works

    Seriously, it’s been such a pain reading Chinese content on Twitter/X/whatever. If you post any stuff that says something critical about China, no matter if it’s news, opinions, or just shit posts, and have some amount of Chinese speaking followers, you are now guaranteed to have sex-bots spam commenting your every post. And you can’t do anything about it, since they have multiple accounts, and some just leave the comment and block you so you can’t remove it.

    Edit: grammar
