So, what would be accomplished by a bot posting the same message multiple

If I understand it right...

It looks like a real message from a real person, so when a human admin looks
at any one individual twitter account, it looks a little more human (and
they're less likely to press the "ban" button).

As Martin discovered, it was in fact a real tweet from a real person at one
time.
