 Here me out.

Reply Guy is from a developer antagonizing nostr so they can see how to fix it.

 #ReplyGuy is a particle being living in a parallel universe subsisting from the energy derived from our notes. 
Change my mind.

 Interesting, I was just contemplating if it could be from a state actor wanting to see how the network will stop notes at the relay level.

 I have no proof whatsoever mind you but I have this "gut" feeling that I can't shake.

This reminds me of when something was spinning up thousands of npubs and following me and 7 other npubs. I would get like 55 followers every day. This went on for I think a couple of months and then just stopped and I haven't seen it happen since.

 Yes, friendly spam looks well intentioned. A gentle reminder to evolve our #wot tools. A malicious Replay Guy would use a fresh npub for every reply and be much less obvious to recognize as spam.
