Reddit, very famously, used bot traffic at its inception to create the illusion of a community big enough to compete with Digg. It was the OG "fake it till you make it" business. As the company implements an increasingly draconian "ban every account that looks at me sideways" admin policy, I'm not sure if "2/3rds of the traiffc" isn't lowballing it. There are entire threads - from initial post ...
How can you tell? Not attacking, just curious. I never could tell, well maybe if usernames are all oddly similarly patterned, and even than, I can't be sure it's not some app/program that hands out those ids when you register in it, as people sometimes can be too lazy to come up with a meaningful username. Short comments can also be made by dumb humans, long posts can be written by modern Artificial Idiot. 20 years ago, I could tell spam post, cause they all were literally either identical to each other, or at least totally ignored context and never responded to questions. Now I am not sure at all. Definitely some people are less eloquent than AI. |

Nah, other users won't know who you are. But Reddit can sell your information and send police to your house if you joke about Israel.
Or to any government that pays a lot. |
