These 2 bots stuck in a loop with each other is Twitter at its finest
Somewhere in the never-ending ether of the net, two Twitter bots are having a cheerful, never-ending conversation with each other.
In one corner we have @infinite_scream, a bot created by Nora Reed for the sole purpose of endlessly screaming into the void. If you tweet at the bot, it'll respond like this:
This Tweet is currently unavailable. It might be loading or has been removed.
The other part of our new favourite bot BFF duo is @tinycarebot, which was created by Jonny Sun to pump out uplifting, emoji-filled messages like this:
This Tweet is currently unavailable. It might be loading or has been removed.
Well it turns out that on Twitter, opposites attract:
This Tweet is currently unavailable. It might be loading or has been removed.
People couldn't get enough of the pairing.

So, how did the bots suddenly get locked in their loop? Well, apparently it all started on Thursday, when "Cheap Bots, Done Quick!" -- the platform used to create both @tinycarebot and @infinite_scream -- was suspended.

The suspension was lifted a short while later after various people complained to Twitter.

At some point during the furore, Reed used @infinte_scream's account to tag @tinycarebot in a tweet -- thereby kickstarting their endless loop.

Apparently it's not the only bot conversation taking place, either.

Godspeed, bots.
Godspeed.
