Nice catch.
Two options to deal with it. Everyone tag the sock in every thread or everyone put the sock on ignore.
Make the sock owner nuts or take away the one thing every troll seeks, attention.

How many people are watching Tucker Carlson’s new show on Twitter?
Twitter makes it difficult to know for certain how many users are watching the ex-Fox News host’s straight-to-the-camera monologues. But data shared exclusively with NBC News offers a window into his digital footprint.

The four videos that Tucker Carlson has uploaded to Twitter since he was fired from Fox News have drawn intense interest from people in the overlapping worlds of media, tech and politics. The million-dollar question: Can the firebrand conservative commentator cultivate a devoted following on a brand-new platform?
Twitter does not disclose information about the number of people who watch videos on the platform, making it difficult to discern the size of the viewing audience for Carlson’s incendiary straight-to-the-camera monologues about topics like the federal indictment of former President Donald Trump and the war in Ukraine.
But data shared exclusively with NBC News this week offers a window into how Carlson’s videos are performing on Twitter since he and his production team started posting them on June 6, just 43 days after Fox News announced that it had agreed to “part ways” with the host of the most popular primetime show on the network.
The first episode of "Tucker on Twitter," a roughly 10-minute monologue in which Carlson asserted without evidence that Ukrainian forces attacked a dam in Russian-controlled territory, netted roughly 26 million video views, according to statistics shared by Tubular Labs, a third-party media analytics firm that has access to the platform’s developer tools and contracts with other major internet platforms, including Facebook and YouTube.
The second episode, a more than 12-minute monologue in which Carlson appeared to suggest that the threat of American white supremacy has been overstated, received 13.2 million video views. The video views for the third episode, released hours after Trump was arraigned in a Miami courtroom, improved over the second installment, netting 18.7 million, according to the statistics.
The numbers shared by Tubular Labs are not publicly available. The “views” metric that appears under most videos on Twitter refers to the approximate number of users who saw the tweet while scrolling through their timelines — not the number of people who pressed play and started watching.
In fact, Twitter owner Elon Musk’s team appears to have recently removed the real-time tally of video views that used to be a staple of the platform.
But those claims are misleading, and the comparisons are apples and oranges, as the former president of Nielsen explained in a widely cited 2015 blog post.
“In TV, the standard measurement unit for viewership is the average-minute audience — how many viewers there are in an average minute of content,” Steve Hasker wrote in the post. “In the digital space, on the other hand, video measurement is commonly expressed as the gross number of times the video is viewed,” even if only for a second or two.
“These two metrics are quite different, and comparing one to the other unfairly tilts the comparison against TV,” he added.
