    The bot is 1m old. Just wait until it gets suspended for “multiple, repeated violations of the content policy” (translation: “don’t you dare to shoo the botters! Bot = activity!”).

      This account exhibits multiple major traits commonly found in karma farming bots. It is extremely likely that u/Yagirlbella_ is a bot made to farm karma, and it is recommended that you downvote their posts to hinder their success.

      That’s probably the banworthy part, arguably amounts to “brigading.”

        At this rate they don’t even need it to be banworthy, they simply ban stuff that counters their interests and call it a day.

          Oh sure, I mean, I couldn’t care less what Reddit The Company decides to do with Reddit The Website, or what Reddit The Actual Human Userbase thinks about it. Fuck em all.

          But I can also see that bringing consequences on to a bot that calls for mass downvoting of individual accounts could be justified, with disregard to what platform the bot operates on.
