Heads up: I actually started vouching a few but then looked more closely and all these accounts have 1 karma, were created recently (< 60 days old), and the linked sites smell suspiciously of AI slop. I also didn't find any prior comments, favorited content, no signs of life. Why would someone never comment only to do so now? I'm hesitant to vouch potential bot accounts.

Yes, I vouched for a couple that had actual comment history, as with any situation like this, it's worth a review before you vouch.
