Is there any proof behind the idea that "reddit is filled with bots"?
Is there any proof behind the idea that "reddit is filled with bots"?
Like people always say reddit is filled with bots, but I looked through the users of the top posts and didn't find evidence that they are bots.
Like how do you know who is a bot? Is there things to look out for?
Edit: And I'd appreciate it if there are real examples of bots getting caught and the evidence of them being bots.
You're viewing a single thread.
Few days ago someone said reddit is mostly bots and when I said I went and checked the profiles of 10 different top commentors from the most popular subs and said that none of them seemed like bots to me I was then essentially told that they mimic real humans so well that it's impossible to tell.
So in other words it's not actually mostly bots but this is just a narrative the people hating on reddit want to believe in. If it was actually mostly bots it would be easy to verify by opening 3 random profiles. Atleast one of those should be a bot.
