Ask HN: Why would a bot (or person) leave these identical nonsense IMDB reviews?

This rambling, apparently gibberish, review has been left with nearly-identical text on several completely different movies: https://ift.tt/308WPw0 https://ift.tt/2Sfncfr https://ift.tt/2G2ZNv1 Even stranger, they're tagged "14 out of 14 found this helpful" There's no spam links or other obvious reasons for these reviews. Is this just a mentally ill person? Is it a bot malfunctioning somehow? Who are the 14 other people or bots marking these as helpful reviews?
