Ask HN: Reason for Twitter Threads from “Influencers” Explaining Basic Things?

It’s spam. Person after person posting things to the effect of “check out these top 10 Python libraries you cannot miss thread_emoji point_down_emoji” and those threads are always terrible or basic. Then a thousand people below reply saying “mem it” with no further engagement. Why do people do this? To get followers? It is basic spam and very frustrating, I block them all.
