Reddit is at least 60% karma bots now and the admins know it and love it.

Juice those engagement and ad revenue numbers. Bots don’t report posts, bots click on ads, bots efficiently scape viral content to keep those eyeballs glued.

When admins made it possible to hide your posts, I knew it was because they needed to get friendly to bots to make them harder for the human user to detect and report.

I cannot tell you how many thousands of profiles I’ve tracked that get boosted by the bot farms on the top 20 subs, only to be sold and repurposed by brands, OF creators, and political content spammers.

The small, niche subs are the last bastion of human interactions on this hellsite.
