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.
One pattern I have noticed in suspicious accounts is in their name. Adjective-Noun-Number is the format I see controversial posts by accounts newly made. The posts they make usually generate a lot of outrage.
That’s the format for default suggested names for new accounts.
Yeah, very handy for bots. People, however, tend to have online identities or personas that they will try to carry forward on account names they create.
Burner accounts notwithstanding, of course.
Good thing my account is noun-noun-number, wouldn’t want people getting suspicious of me
adjective-verb-adjective agrees.
