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.

    I have to admit; I suspect that some of the Reddit bots are calling from inside the company.

      There’s karma farm bots to sell to companies for astroturfing but yes, Reddit absolutely runs their own bots to fluff engagement metrics
