Wow, a tovbot trifecta: the headline has nothing to do with the link, which in turn has almost nothing to do with the blurb text, which is an advertisement. Way to go tovbot! Automating new dimensions of not-quite-but-almost-spam.

Lol. With this site changing, I gotta ask, does anyone know anything about "Tovbot"?

It really is a person right? Its not really some sort of aggretator service that just has a human sounding name?

An astounding 12,000+ posts, yet under 100 comments. How is this possible?

What was/is his motivation to post? Is he paid by Patrick?

Why are so many of the headlines purposefully misleading? Does he/it not care about his/its credibility?

These are genuine questions and I am sure I am not the only one who is curious. Seriously, does anyone know anything?

PS. Peter Tovarich, if you are in fact a real person, feel free to answer too (although I doubt you will).

Robots don't have feelings.

Here's the article for the title.

It's a pretty shitty looking mansion. It doesn't even have curves, which is like the biggest advantage of 3d-printing buildings except for cost.

I was hoping for something much better.

PatNet User "tovarichpeter" (Russian for Comrade Peter) is a twit feed attributed to Peter Christiansen. It uses a script that posts semi-automatically to PatNet. It seems to be a holdover from the Soviet era, with a superficially Marxist insistence that overlooks dysfunctional failure. It suffers a chronic enthusiasm for Obamneycare, based on a personal connection to PhRMA.
