 Please follow this person who isn't even on here because she's big on the shitshow you came here to escape from.

Also, don't notice that she only follows herself.

 I already do, but her posts scream bot... dont really pay much attention. 
I'd rather see what other people are up too and see what ideas it give me.

 I don't follow anyone who doesn't follow anyone else. This ain't Twatter.

 So sad looking at people replying to her posts.
Simping for a bot.

 I don't follow the person, I subscribe to the information feed. Engaging with the person is a bonus while I'm here.

Also, Whitney is a gem.

 Irrelevant. Don't complain that people on Nostr aren't following a bot-feed, like we're all missing out and she's feeling unloved. 🙄

Bizarre marketing ploy.

 Did you just defend the honor of a RSS bot from a person that doesn't even engage here, to a real woman?

This whole episode is bizarre.

 No I made the point that the RSS bot is useful to me, so that I can see updates without the need to go looking elsewhere. Means I don't need to leave this environment.

Whitney herself is doing excellent investigative journalism. That's her proof of work. We don't need to know each other for me to find that body of work valuable.

I don't get what you mean by marketing ploy.

 He formulated the note to make it sound like she was somehow active on Nostr and generate excitement, but it's literally just a cross-posting bot.
