For those out of the loop on Saudis: During WW1 they made a deal with the British to revolt against the Ottoman empire and in exchange they received massive weapon support and lot of land spoils (including Palestine which the Brits gave to Israel instead). This is what Lawrence of Arabia is known for.
The Saudi rulers been good obedient slaves of the Brits (and now the USA) since. (except king Faisal who nationalized the oil and was promptly assassinated by his Westernized cousin in 1975.)

They're bots of course, Saudi makes everything too obvious. They're as bad at propaganda as the current Israeli Hasbara department. They might be hiring the same people. The purpose of showing the like count is to show that it isn't some random small tweet taken out of context but a big operation.
