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.
Also, Someone reposted Stardew Valley in Ghibli art style claiming as OC but It was originally posted in 2021. Reddit is really fucked up.
My guy, repost bots have been a thing for a long, long time
But reposting it and claiming it as OC. TF
The bots just copy the original title verbatim, OC tags and all, right?
Yeah, They are fucking bot what we can expect
Reddit as a whole has a huge botting problem. And it isn’t exactly new, although it got worse past ChatGPT.
This was happening since 2015 on a massive scale, in small and big subreddits, getting increasingly worse each year.
It has been so bad and easy to spot with simple bots, that there’s no other option that reddit’s owners are complicit.
That’s one of the big reasons I quit besides the 3rd party app they took off me.
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.
Yeah, I just saw how many upvotes it got.
I dunno. Why bots are doing this :(. They are ruining Stardew Valley Sub.

Has been an issue for a while. The sub of ~30k I was a mod in, I was picked up because I was reporting bot posts and posting the OG posts. I was modded by one the other mod (the sub owner was non-existent really) so instead of me being the middle man, I would just respond with the OG post so there was a “trail” and then remove the post.
I did other little things like discussion threads for the weekly event, but I just hated seeing the bots. It died down after a few months, so they have to be watching the metrics on the subs to know where it’s allowed and where it isn’t.
Very interesting
