    That’s been going on for quite some time. Back before the migration i can see some user intentionally combing reddit to find out who is botting and calling them out. Of course, no action taken.

      It’s way worse now though. I don’t know if the bots ramped up or if there’s just more exposure since there’s fewer users but it is so much more obvious now. But yeah, OP should not be surprised to see repost bots. What’s worse is how many comments are now bots too, and not just repost bots of popular comments, buts actual LLM responses.

        Damn, it’s just sad. I guess the smaller sub still better? It’s always the big time waster sub that have this issue back then, while the smaller sub tend to be more organic.

    Also, Someone reposted Stardew Valley in Ghibli art style claiming as OC but It was originally posted in 2021. Reddit is really fucked up.

          The bots just copy the original title verbatim, OC tags and all, right?

    Reddit as a whole has a huge botting problem. And it isn’t exactly new, although it got worse past ChatGPT.

    Comments are definitely ChatGPT. Oof.

    Why go for niche subs though?

      The sub is very positive and has a very high uovote rate. My guess is good for karma farming.

    At this point in the time, it would be more surprising pointing out what subreddits aren’t full of bot spam.

Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-Reddit posts using the [META] tag on your post title.



Rule 7- You can't harass or disturb other members.

If you vocally harass or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.

Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.



Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.

Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.

Let everyone have their own content.



Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here. This includes using AI responses and summaries.
