What are the accounts for? Do they try to sell something just before deleting?

I’m not entirely sure. The best guess I have on that is, they’re pushing a narrative or shilling specific websites like nytimes (which all of these accounts I’ve seen so far have shared from very heavily).

Someone else mentioned it could be a person that got salty that they got banned from some communities and are having a shitfit making a bunch of accounts and deleting them before they get banned again.

Sold to whom? Who else could be trusted with these artifacts?

This very much feels like some kind of bullshit advertising to get the public on board with an obvious scam.
