It looks like a new breed of bots have started to appear. Those that take some text from the site, repeat it, and link to their own site in their name.
Specifically, this is from the article itself. I had another bot quote only my first sentence.
Fun fact: presidents can only run two terms. It was precedent set by George Washington when he stepped down after two terms. Franklin D. Roosevelt bucked the trend, but ended up dying in office. Shortly thereafter, it was amended to the Constitution that presidents can only run for two terms (amm. 22).
So we have to endure Trump up to two terms. Unless he decides that the constitution means nothing.

[…] coached to say the correct things.
Coached by whom? Coaching implies planning and organization. I can't imagine the hundreds (not an actual number, just an example) crossing the Mexican border taking lessons on how to act to game a system. Maybe a few, but not the majority.

Dude, calm down. You won't get your point across if you yell.
If a movie had 100 million pirates downloading it, I'd say there's something else wrong such as region restrictions.
Yes, there are companies that abuse copyright protections to get a lot of money. They're called the film and music industries. Many of them are worse than any pirate, not paying for work done for them, breaching contract ("Only show this one time" uses it as an advertisement campaign), or when they crop the copyright off of an independent photographer's image as advertising material. That's not even going into their restrictive contracts they have young people sign just to mooch of their talents while they do nothing.
Looks like the Fortnite lockout was the straw that broke the camel's back.
In summary: Fortnite players, who have played Fortnite on a PS4, can't use their Fortnite accounts to log onto a Switch or a XB1. You'd need to create a whole new account. Although the PS4-only accounts can be used for phones and PCs, but no other consoles.
Just going over the Fortnite lock-out on its own might be interesting.
This makes me wonder if WB is trying to silently kill interest in Harry Potter because they feel that the gravey train for HP is over, and they want them to divert interest into a new, more lucrative IP.
Of course, the bad will that WB is generating might hurt any IP that they put under their umbrella, until they only have IPs that no one wants to touch.
