Is it just bot generated titles and text as well, 0 humans involved in the entire process?
Most likely this. Fully automatic slop machine that just checks what has the best “engagement” and produces that, so naturally loads of rage bait.
Presumably this is all for ad revenue. If a single profile can get few dollars a day you just run a few hundred. It’s the same premise behind mmo gold farm bots, where they’re not terribly efficient and don’t last long before getting banned, but it’s still profitable because of the scale and minimal amount of human labor involved.

I don’t even understand how a social media bot makes money in the first place.
No one is paying for Tweets.
Blue checks actually can get paid for engagement.
