Not necessary that they are trying to boost the shows, can just be part of the output and potentially look more "authentic" in Monero community.. Will be interesting to see if any comment here - I think AilliA is correct and they are looking for money...

Agreed. Suspicious, too, that #340704 is supposedly named John... but I received an e-mail from that same e-mail address and their name was "Reece", not John. Perhaps Douglas Tuman, popular (wannabe) politician and host of the "best Monero podcast" could chime in. Either we are talking about an AI model going wild everywhere, using MoneroTalk or MoneroTopia (👀; same grift, hustle) brand name to boost the show(s), or Douglas has a Reece and a John... and who else? Who, apparently, like to obfuscte their typing antics by coming across as AI. Interesting...
