          How do we know if they’re bots or just stupid people?

            I operate on matrix rules. Whether or not they’re bots if they’re repeating bot points they’re bots.

      The study is from 2018. I’m sure Reddit has had plenty of time to get those stats up. 15% is rookie numbers.

      Not even that. While the article claims that, the linked study isn’t even about reddit.
