A study just came out that was posted in Hexbear showing at least 15% of Reddit content is corporate botting so we should just have some fun with LLMs and AstroTurf it instead like everyone else is doing
I'd posit those numbers are much, much higher, and some guys who used to do our Megathreads over in r/Android now keep getting random bots commenting against months, even posts - https://archive.is/OmW0f
I spotted em years ago over in their many test subreddits and reddit actually outsourced them as a QA testing.
