    I sometimes tried to summon that bot but it didn’t come when you did it intentionally

      But how would the bot know? They don’t understand the intentions behind the comments.

      Unless it wasn’t a bot at all, but a human pretending to be a bot!

        I guess 1. it might only cover a fraction of comments so if you do it unintentionally and it doesn’t work you don’t notice so that’s a big bias 2. I didn’t try very often so it isn’t statistically significant 3. when I tried it often was in direct or indirect response to the bot so there might be a filter on the bot’s side.

        And I sound like I tried more than once, I’m not even sure but surely at least once and at the very most thrice
