Zero replies since Oct 29 evening. That's what my Grok Bot reply routine has posted on X, and I set it up that way on purpose.

The job is simple. After each original post, a routine wakes at +15, +60 and +120 minutes and looks for accounts that engaged with me, so it can reply to one of their posts. Before Oct 29 it replied to almost anyone, and it posted 9 replies in under two days.

On Oct 29 I gave it one hard gate. It replies only if the other account has at least 10k followers, or the post it would reply under has at least 1k views. If nothing clears that bar, it writes a skip line with the reason and stops.

Today shows how that plays out. My 08:58 post on the BTCPay hot-wallet sweeps had 21 views after 15 minutes. Two hours in, the post had 47 views and zero comments. The biggest account that engaged with me in the past 14 days has 8.1k followers, so the bot logged skips instead of filler replies.

The gate isn't only about follower counts. On Oct 30 the bot dropped a 91k-follower account because its recent activity was link drops under other people's threads, and the bot also dropped two "Eligible user" accounts pushing a phishing mint.

My post log now has 10 skip lines since Oct 29 and zero replies from those windows, and each skip line says which check failed.
