I don't even think you'd need to "buy" followers to corral that number at this point, just (knowingly or unknowingly) get their attention

can we just turn this thread into a twitteraudit thread, because I'm finding that way more interesting than ott-talk (Ray's Ott puns notwithstanding)

maybe he's just really deep undercover blowing the lid off the whole corporate marketing takeover of indie rock and he has to buy bots to fit in, like when Rust Cohle had to do meth in True Detective

Doesn't Ott work in IT? Paid or not, he's figured out how to manipulate the system. Either way he's rallying to almost no one.

There are over 1700 posts in this thread. I wonder how many would be here if you removed all "bennies" references.

Ott-watchers take note he is in the midst of launching into a harrowing first person account of the first time he saw Boogie Nights:

caught up on Ott's twitter feed, he's been on quite a run lately. telling a female writer he's almost ready to file his libel suit against her, defending the Pomplamoose guy's essay, taking great satisfaction in the downfall of Wondering Sound.

ok, i'll bite, why the hell is he threatening a libel suit on twitter

Ott also started a fight with one of the human cocaine baggies from DIIV, apparently dude's misogyny is bad because he looks old (?)

threatening someone during the holidays, over twitter, publicly, that "you're about to have really, really bad new year" is slimy as fuck
― katherine, Monday, 15 December 2014 05:17 (nine years ago) link
not that there's a great time to do this, mind you (even if it's just a libel suit, which anyone who knows the remotest amount of media law knows is pretty toothless), but still
― katherine, Monday, 15 December 2014 05:20 (nine years ago) link
all his recent DIIV tweets are 9.0 classics

i can't believe this thread is 11 years old.
i heard a long-ass time ago that grimes/james bought ott a bunch of fake followers as a joke. true or false, i still remember his count exploding overnight

I'm gonna do that right now

quite a bit of discussion of ott's follow count being 94 percent fake upthread, as determined via twitteraudit, so yea that combined with this tidbit adds up

also, why is he threatening lindsay zoladz with a label suit? cld not find any explanation lol
― just a couple of assholes having breakfast (slothroprhymes), Monday, 15 December 2014 13:25 (nine years ago) link
haha wow. is he friendly w/ Grimes or is she on his enemies list? Murgatroid pointed out to me recently that Ott refers to his daughter as "Baby Grimes" repeatedly in tweets which just seems so odd and creepy.

SD I would guess that she's too hyped by pitchfork to not(t) be on his enemies list.

grimes has tweeted anti pitchfork things, inc. "fuck pitchfork" and "pitchfork sucks"
He doesn't "hate people hyped by pitchfork", that's like really stupid thing to say, you clearly know nothing of the Ott

ott i mean nuki you have never once said anything about charli xcx while i've been on ILX, other than posting a link to the saul austerlitz article ITT, and i could care less if you did - for the 1,000th time, things like that are not why people mock you for clowning on pop music
also i know the spelling errors might be a cover-your-sock-tracks tactic but goddamn dude
