I was analyzing 'human' comments wrong for a year until one person used a weird phrase
I used to look for perfect grammar and long sentences to spot bots. Last week I saw a comment that said 'this video gives me a feeling of nostalgic vibes.' It was too clean. Turned out that account had posted 50 times in 3 hours. That tipped me off. Now I pay attention to posting frequency and repeated phrases instead. Has anyone else changed how they spot bots after getting fooled a few times?

Read somewhere that bots avoid typos on purpose to look legit.

Yeah @colescott that's actually what worked for me. Started adding small typos on purpose like missing a letter or doubling one. Made my posts feel way more human and engagement went up.
