AskReddit is over run by bots

I would almost be okay with a proffer that it is bots asking the questions, but that the discourse is between human beings. That's all I really care about. It's rare that I respond directly to OP, or at least I do so less frequently than I'm responding to someone in the comments.

I remember back in the early days on forums, sometimes they'd just feel dead, and it was mainly a lack of content (threads). Once a thread would open, us morons behind keyboards could talk it to death, or more likely just divert in perpetuity.
