Those social media accounts that steal other people's photos of cute animals to post every day... they are parasites.
They are not "fun". They are manipulating you and stealing other people's hard work. Ever wondered how the photographer who took the original photo feels about that kind of social media account?
Please ask yourself why they are doing this, why they are trying to build an audience using stolen photos? And would the Fediverse be better off if you blocked them instead of boosting them?

This is why every government in the West is in a death race to bind your social media accounts, even anonymous message boards, to your actual ID.
It's to get you fired for saying things like health care should be free, or that Israel shouldn't be allowed to starve women and children to death, or that trans rights are human rights.
It's not about protecting children.

Credit card fraud
Black neon tetras committed credit card fraud during a 2023 livestream by "Mutekimaru Channel" on YouTube. The owner was using motion-tracking software to turn the fishes' movements into Nintendo Switch inputs, letting them "play" video games.[8] In 2020, the fish beat Pokemon Sapphire after 3,195 hours, a feat that takes about 30 hours for a typical human.[9][8] On January 14, 2023, Pokémon Violet crashed at 1,144 hours, giving the fish free access to the main menu. They entered inputs that opened Nintendo eShop, added 500 yen ($3.85 USD) to their owner's account, and exposed his credit card details on the livestream.[10][11] Mutekimaru later requested a refund of the 500 yen from Nintendo.[12]
"Fish eagerly read the terms and conditions. Many of us humans don't read the terms of service, but fish are smarter than we are"
– caption from Mutekimaru in a video about the incident[12]
The fish also downloaded an N64 emulator, set up PayPal, used reward points to buy an avatar, and changed Mutekimaru's Nintendo account name to "ROWAWAWAWA¥".[13] After about seven hours, their movements shut down the Switch.](https://assets.chaos.social/media_attachments/files/115/216/203/762/243/145/original/5537fbe5316df3f6.png "A screenshot of a Wikipedia article:
