blackhat social media shilling strategies

came across this twitter account today

lots of followers. basically serial shitposting of cat pics, and cutesy stuff with high reblog ratio, adn constant shilling of some promo links and stuff in between.

how exactly does this work? is it affiliate marketing in a way? how profitable is this? i'd imagine with post-queueing you can automate a large part of the process, and get the cash flowing. but what else is going on behind the curtains? how would i go about setting up the links/affiliates if i wanted to give this a try?
