What you mean it is not fair?
Imagine you are huge company that will not fail, you can enter any market, dump the prices, gather market share, make that the main stream of revenue, and suddenly you can click to kill someone whole business. This is a vendor lock-in based on a dumping model.
On the other hand, don't tell that prices are not personalised anywhere. 4 is destroying the economy with gray area tactics
Anyone working there should be ashamed of being part of that
One needs to consider why the usage of automated responses.
Is it engagement drive? Is it inflating metrics? Is it manipulation? I do not see a scenario where it is purely done because someone wants to be nice.
1. Get more followers. A lot of people see follower count as a goal that matters to them. Replying to high follower counts may earn you a follow from them or from someone reading their replies who doesn't catch that you are a bot.
2. Establish account credibility. Does Twitter's algorithm rank posts higher from accounts that have a long history of engaging with other accounts? I don't know for sure, neither do they but they may believe it's worth trying anyway.
3. Accounts for sale. There's a market for used Twitter accounts with plenty of realistic looking activity. Maybe these spammers are building inventory.
