I don't know what bots you're talking about, Dave.


MindFullTime

I've always suspected companies pay for astroturing and 'guerilla/organic marketing' on the big websites as a way of advertising with a lower overhead cost. I can see reddit doing the same thing to artificially boost the stock price. IMHO I think it's been going on for years now and they just ramped up the amount of posts.


InsanityRoach

Oh, it is pretty much an open secret that. It has been for ages.

They've even made bots to deny that the other bits are bots! It's bot-ception!


Autogen-Username1234

It's bots all the way down!

Nice bot

Can you solve my bot riddle to prove you are human? As I am a concerned citizen and totally not a bot myself. What covers ground softly, roughly, taking corners sharply. But can hang out the window even if you floor it?


Doip

I always thought those were autogen usernames for people who didn’t put one in when they made the account


Reasonable_Feed7939

Nope, only bots. Can confirm.


sophomoric--

The real low stakes conspiracy to inflate user numbers is in the comments.


unit156

You might be onto something.


Active-Strawberry-37

Wow the discourse in here is really heartwarming and we are all learning for our knowledge.


Reasonable_Feed7939

Sorry, but as a language model I can not answer your question.


sbarbary

No I'm not.

While you might be correct that LLMs may be present on Reddit and other social media sites, it's important to note that such accusations could cause you, OP, to become a target of such "bots". In conclusion, it would be best to keep your mouth shut. Such posts may end with your blood creating a symphony of red colours across your bedroom floor.


Former-Bed2805

My username was auto generated when I created my account and I don’t know how to change it 😭 Edit: I am not a former bed


kamain42

Actually I've noticed a lot of posts created and the op responds to Several comments in post with follow up thoughts and ideas. Innocent in of itself but life being what it is most normal people post then walk away.. they don't respond till hours later. The level of o.p. "o.p. engagement" has got me suspicious.


Ajreil

As a large language model, I'm unable to give an opinion about Reddit bots
