    I wouldn’t be shocked if it was only 15% that isn’t corporate swill. Even the reasonable sounding comments can just be a bot karma farming by reposting previously popular stuff. At it’s peak, Reddit was a chaotic bazaar of experts and wannabees building actual good communities. You could find the kind of researched, in-depth info no Google search would ever unearth again. Now Reddit is clearly riding in the same boat as MySpace and others, just in it’s own stupid extra-Spezy way.

      wonder how much of the bots are OF spammers, or link farmers. i know they use a ton of accounts to spam, after they mostly warmed up those accounts, i was on another forum how they were doing it to earn money. the propaganda bot farms dont care about evading reddits filter, so they spam, dump the account and create a new one, rinse and repeat.
