  I see the same bot crap when I look at the “Humor” tag I follow via the reader. They are being posted every few seconds by the looks of it.

  I’ve tried several different tags in the reader and they seem to be burying every real blog post in all of them. Their titles are either misspelled attempts at claiming to be by an unending variety of people or someone is apparently engaged in trafficking randomly generated imaginary people. I hope that wordpress techs can get a handle on this soon (as I’ll be doing my regular Monday update tomorrow and would like not to be instantly buried under spam) or the reader will be fully useless.
