Gimmick Account Twitter / '_________' posting their Ls/Ws / '_________' Out of Context - Unnecessary soapboxes, e-begging, >not posting on main, terminally online posters, "You are blocked from following _______"

[Raze]

There’s too many god damned “posting their Ls” accounts.

I have two Gimmick account stories.

First: I remember there was like a bot that shits out random horse book quotes and I used to follow it for some random humour. Then it crossed over that shitty parody pronunciation channel and it turns out it was just ARG for a shitty art project and no one cared afterward. I unfollowed soon afterwards.

Second: A bit of a crossover with the cows and former cows at Channel Awesome. My memory is a bit hazy so bear with me. Back then they were know as TGWTG, there was like a gimmick account that post random fanfic quotes (yes, their fans made fanfics of these losers) called @TGWTG_Fans_txt. It started as like a tongue and cheek thing like those quote spam bots. It then started to quote fanfics "without permission", causing some fans get pissed and the account started arguing with them and how annoying they are and even some of the producers joined in to defend their fans. I can't really blame the guy for mocking them considering that they had like a whole kink fic community in there . Then it turned into like an anti-TGWTG troll before it was even cool.

It's mostly lost to time (and I can't bother to get every drama that account has been right now) so here's Lupa making self important post about it on Tumblr.

Strangely, they deleted their account after the CtC thing took off, but you can still search up the Twitter handle.

In conclusion, you may want to check accounts run by bots and pretend bots as well.

In terms of BRAND™ Twitter, the most notable examples in my opinion are Wendy's and as I mentioned before, Steak-Umms.

Wendy's kicked off the EPIC ROAST REPLYGUY thing which every other corp has beaten into the fucking dirt by this point. They're the most notable example.

Steak-umms is one rare, radical extreme of the BRAND™ account spectrum; corpos who know they know nothing about selling to the modern zoomer so they just hand the account to a minimum wage worker and promise they can say whatever they want so long as they think it'll appeal to people. The account manager could probably drop THE GREAT N and not get into trouble.

The other side of the coin would be something like Pizza Hut which got trolled into doing a fist-bump with the cupcake-loving child-molesting EDP, and of course lost their shit and probably sent the account manager into the incinerator. Shallow, spineless corporate accounts that take no risks but still want to be edgy and cool and appeal to them cynical zoomerz

Denny’s Tumblr is all to blame. They blew up years ago and were very good with fitting in with Tumblr’s 2012 humor at the time. Companies have been hiring terminally online “quirky” weirdos ever since.

Gimmick accounts tend to be run by trannies and teenagers (and teenager trannies) who don't know how to handle a sudden influx of followers who enjoy their content, so they try to use their captive audience to feed them that sweet, sweet validation. The fatal flaw every gimmick account makes is assuming people give a fuck about the people running the account and aren't just following for funny pictures. Even some of the "better" gimmick accounts like Women Posting L's have devolved into constantly trying to promote the account runner's main and retweeting his shitty podcast that literally no one gives a shit about.

I feel like gimmick accounts are just a different vein of roleplayers, whether they want to admit it or not. Whether it's a character from a piece of fiction or a restaurant, they're still all entities. It's just funny as fuck to me because it just takes me back to the days of Tumblr accounts all revolving around a single character and roleplaying them, people filling eachothers private messages just to hear what a particular "person" would say to their stupid shit. It's literally the same shit when people try to get a witty response out of a "God" Twitter account, or "Satan" for that matter.

Man, I used to follow quite a few gimmick accounts but ended up unfollowing most of them around election time last year. Sorry but if you're an account that just posts funny and/or cute pics of Pokemon, I really don't care about your latest political hot take.

That's why this is the best gimmick account there ever was.

I've been following that account from the beginning and never once listened to his "MKUltra Money" podcast. Like lol I'm not taking financial advice from a guy who runs a gimmick account for reposting onlyfans thots. That podcast exists just to sell his shitty T-shirts, not to make me "actually rich" with some amazing secret advice. Anyone who buys into that probably also falls for MLMs.

I'm sick of these gimmick accounts whose whole gag is to upload the same exact photo or video on the same day each week. Examples are:

• The Weekend account, whereupon each Friday afternoon they share the same clip of Daniel Craig saying "Ladies and gentlemen, The Weekend."
• That account that shares a picture from The Adventures of TinTin each Wednesday that has a sea captain saying something like "Thank god it's Friday" with TinTin telling him it's actually Wednesday
• The "Congratulations Sailor, you made it to Friday!" account with Mr. Krabs
• Accounts whose gimmick is "The same photo of [insert celebrity]" each day, usually someone with a weird face like Glenn Danzig or Steve Buscemi

I don't know why, but my normie friends think those are hilarious and eat that shit up.

Quiet down now before Null hears you.

I follow some meme accounts and there are a bunch of annoying cunts who reply to every meme account tweet. There's Tony Soprano, for example. This dude has no life and always tries to be the first to reply, usually tweeting out some unfunny/unrelated meme or caption. Other gimmick accounts I'm tired of seeing are the "explains the joke" types like Literal Larry, and the sports pfp weirdos who reply 'ratio' to everything. Those jokes have been run into the ground.

I've seen a lot of Instagram gimmick accounts that involve posting the same picture of a JoJo character everyday.

Oh yeah, this reminds me of how unoriginal gimmick accounts can be.

For context, there's an account called Poorly Aged Things/@PoorlyAgedStuff that post content regrugitated on by r/AgedLikeMilk. Because their followers frequently ask for context of a post that they can't google for a few seconds, accounts like Context for Poorly Aged Things/@AgedContext spring up to pigback the more popular account for the attention. The populary of Context for Poorly Aged Things caused copycats (pun intended) to be make and circlejeck among themselves for likes and attention.

Here's what happens when I look up "Poorly Aged" on the People section. You can tell they spawn from Poorly Aged Things from their name and Blinx pfp.

Spoiler: Fucktons of Poorly Aged Accounts

I could add more but you get the point all ready. I'm not aware of any drama from those accounts...yet. But it still doesn't take away from the points Gimmick account are there to farm easy likes from other twitter followers. It doesn't matter how meta or quirky you are, we know the reason why an account was made in the first place.

Twitter is so terrible that it makes even dumb comedy gimmick accounts terrible by extension. Twitter Delenda Est.

 

[Quantum Diabetes]

There’s a couple that annoy me, like the Traffic Barrel guy and the Dodge Ram guy.
I would personally like them to drop their phone in the toilet just to shut the fuck up for awhile.
The only good one is Nilihist Arby’s, though they’re repetitive these days.

 

[Helicopter Pad]

I'm kind of amazed at the sheer amount of gimmick accounts that at some point either try to shill for donations or find a chance to start soapboxing about their trite political opinions, like even for the smallest and most niche gimmicks that's always the first thing they do after getting even a modest amount of followers. Twittertards truly have no shame

 

[stupid orc]

good thread idea op, reminded me instantly of the when @racismdog on twitter dared to call this black woman racist and almost got canceled over it.
