There are quite a few.
I have encountered bot-like replies on my older posts or and on vaccine-injury posts.
Usually you can tell when they post something that is completely irrelevant.
And some clearly have not read the article, but those could be NPCs as well.

Some of those are employees of social media influencer companies who post here. When they find a topic their masters don't like and can't answer, they'll use a tactic called "sealioning". They'll post irrelevant crap to try and derail the conversation. Learn to watch for it and call it out when it happens. You'll notice the same accounts doing it over and over.
