There have been multiple accounts created with the sole purpose of posting advertisement posts or replies containing unsolicited advertising.

Accounts which solely post advertisements, or persistently post them may be terminated.

I’m assuming they stopped the account from completing it…?

They could have let it continue to monitor it, in a honey-pot sort of way, to learn more about the bot, and it’s network.

But I was asking towards intent, not success. Why would people have bots create accounts and then do absolutely nothing with those accounts afterwards?
