Yes, they totally get to the top reply of every Trump tweet (without being famous for anything other than being the top replies to Trump tweets) completely naturally...

Yet they gave topical replies. So they weren't bots. A human was writing those.

No one's saying they were bots lol. The issue is they are alleged to buy fake likes/RTs/etc (via either bots or click farms) to boost their content.

Which is in violation of Twitter TOS.

We shouldn't be encouraging the social media companies to censor views/people we don't like.

They were banned for making fake accounts, not for being dweebs.
they made twitter socks?  There are twitter socks?  What was their reason/excuse for making them?  Did they know it was against the rules?  How have these questions not been asked?

As I said in the reply just before this, what they are accused of doing is buying fake likes and retweets (through either click farms or bots, distinction is irrelevant here) for the purpose of promoting their content. Since their comments being ranked at the top of the replies for every Trump tweet is literally the only reason they're famous, it gives them a rather compelling reason to do something like this.
