What’s with all the brand new accounts that post random YSKs then delete their profile? There are a lot of these in YSK and I can’t figure out why.

Are the posts still up? Can you link them?

Just looking at the last 20 posts (including this one), these 9 are all links to ragebait news stories from accounts that are now deleted and have similar random usernames. Of the remaining 11, one is a weird downvoted post from a deleted account, 2 are politics posts but from active users. Just over a quarter of the posts are actually about interesting/useful information.
The only non-lemmy.world account: Melon Husk™@sh.itjust.works
Banned in some community because: Widely reported as a likely unmarked bot using an LLM to generate engagement bait
(Profile not deleted)
telokic, sededor, pali, Yecoh, vanes, henaw2, kogito @lemmy.world: gone
All post sorta normal news stories as “YSK”.
As others probably pointed out already, this is likely somebody playing with LLM bots (unmarked). Good riddance. Not sure about the first one though.
