Sorry, it's not clear to me, what exactly is the con that these bots are running?

The first post is from an official exchange. The rest isn’t. Take careful note of the usernames and like counts
What gets me is the stupidly obvious fake replies saying it works.
Honestly the best solution is to open verification to everyone, not just notable people, anyone that actually wants to hand over their ID and prove they are who they say they are and let us filter out non verified users. If they don't want verification to look like an endorsement, that's what they need to do. Otherwise it is an endorsement.
