Update: Meta spokesperson Liz Sweeney confirmed to me that the bots are old, from 2023, part of an "early experiment." They're taking them down to address the issue of users not being able to block them. Full update in the story below:

My favorite holiday podcast tradition every year is @stoppodcasting.bsky.social’s exchanging of Christmas Coupons, followed by their New Year’s Eve special where they open the lines to the listeners #nicerackbub #underwhere

Every podcast I don’t listen to is called “Achieving the Limit with Duff and Ween” and gets sold for 300 million dollars while every podcast I do listen to is called “The Movie Toilet” and begs me to buy a t shirt so they can eat food
