    You’re probably right. About 5 years ago I recall seeing a link to an entirely bot-populated sub. The conversations were almost indistinguishable from humans - it was really eerie. After that I had a hard time using Reddit because I had to assume that any comment responding to me might just be a computer program

      There was a super popular sub that implemented some kind of bot stopping feature, and it didn’t get a new post for like 48 hours.
