Indignatron B (the post that AI bot in North Bergen can’t get enough of)

looking at me

I mentioned in a previous post that an AI bot in North Bergen New Jersey is paying a lot of attention to my blog. Total views so far in 2026 for this one post , Indignatron B, 1.5 K and rising ! Most of them from that bot in North Bergen, New Jersey. What is that bot learning? This puzzled me enough that I revisited the post and it occurred to me that maybe it’s the rhyming. Is the language model studying that “glitterati, literati, witeratti, getfiteratti, Maserati , Bugati” riff, not to mention the “sycophants, dilettantes, the cant” . And suddenly I had this surge of pride that maybe, after all this time I am contributing to the language. But judge for yourselves.

Here we go……

Indignatron B (as seen on TV)

Are you feeling indignant?

Do you feel the urge to rant?

Are you sick of the city, the government

sycophants, dilettantes, the cant;

are you bitter about the glitterati

the literati, the witeratti, the getfiteratti

that tosser on your street

with the Maserati or is it a Bugatti

always wittering on about his colonoscopy

his digestive tract?

Relax, help is on the way,

take one Indignatron B tablet daily

and you won’t give a shit about all that.

Warning:

Some users of Indignatron B have become so unbearably pleasant, that their friends can’t stand them anymore.

Do not mix Indignatron B with alcohol, some users, who have, experienced such a feeling of intense happiness that all they could think about was doing it again.

Are Bots Chomping at my Blog?

Does my blog have bot-ulism?

I know I have talked about this before; my stats are booming. In January I had 7.7K views and 7.4K visitors. To put those stats in perspective, prior to this a typical month for me would be around 600 views. The most popular post in January was: https://stopdraggingthepanda.com/2019/02/14/indignatron-b-as-seen-on-tv/

Lots of views, but no likes, no comments and the visitors were mostly from The United States, Singapore and Hong Kong with the majority being from The United States. And it’s still continuing.

So I dug deeper. WordPress stats lists not only countries but also cities where the viewers are located. Apparently I am very popular in North Bergen, New Jersey; 4.7K views in January alone. Before this I did not know North Bergen existed. Although I did spend a summer in Bradley Beach, New jersey working as a student in The La Reine Bradley Hotel. But that’s another story.

North Bergen apparently has a population of approximately 60,000. According to Google AI, it “thrives on a diverse economy heavily anchored by transportation, logistics and warehousing”. This doesn’t explain why I am so popular in North Bergen. The answer could be , of course, that I am not popular at all in North Bergen and yes, there’s a bot chomping on my blog.

On the other hand, if some of you nice people in North Bergen, New Jersey are actually reading my blog, hey, make a comment, say hello! I’m waiting.

I Haven’t Been Posting and My Stats are Booming!

Well obviously I’m posting now but for a while there I was busy with Christmas, you know, the get together with the people I used to work with, then the get together with the other people I used to work with, then the get together with the guys I used to play soccer with, then the family stuff and the trip to see Frozen, the musical and the trip to see Zootopia 2 and then I decided to put together a collection of poems and discovered that my poems resisted the uniformity of a collection, it was a bit like herding cats and during all that time MY STATS WERE BOOMING, one day in early January for example I had 1K views and over a period of a week I had 2.3 K views which is not normal at all and the visitors were from Japan, Singapore, Indonesia, Vietnam and all over the world, no likes, no comments, just views and then I began to think are AI bots feeding on my blog and I had an image of furry little creatures chomping on my blog and excreting data turds and this was disturbing to say the least, but thankfully it has stopped which means that I can finally finish this run on sentence. Phew!
