Bots in comment sections, that praise games

This is just one example of a game that is from 2017 https://madisonvideogame.itch.io/madison-demo, yet the comments are very recent. I have encountered another one yesterday for a game in a different language, the comment section looked nearly exactly similar except in a different language and the usernames were more creative. I am not sure if this is someone making many accounts to troll and pretend to be bots or self-praise, or actually bots but I thought this was worth posting. Have you seen this phenomenon in other games? A funny memory I have is seeing Illuminati and alternative medicine advertisements in 2019-2020 comment sections with real phone numbers and contact information, but yeah this is just weird considering how many posts they have that are exactly the same under different games.

Interesting. I wonder what the payload is.
