Wow no I was wrong, it's stupider than that: the bot apparently runs twitter searches for "remote work and remote jobs" and replies even to people who didn't tag it!

This reminds me of an experiment I did back in the early days of Twitter when you could use the search API to find literally every tweet.

I ran this a few years in a row, and by 2010 traffic had picked up enough that I was finally hitting rate limits.
