Just checked in on the subreddit mentioned in this post. It’s still getting bot posts in the same style, which get upvoted accordingly and commented on with the vast majority not noticing or caring that it’s slop. Mods still out to lunch.
Likewise, there’s now a post on /r/all (seen using old.reddit, the only way to get to it now) at #10 and climbing with the same style but targeting povertyfinance, a bigger sub (one with a pinned message claiming to be a “heavily moderated subreddit”). If you look at the users, you can see the details of how they create a couple comments in random subs until one of those comments get several dozen upvotes, then go for the viral post. All accounts make a move around 8 days after creation. And it’s working, no problem.
Two bot profiles that just reached this point for comparison/posterity:
I made this comment on a post the other day, and I got this reply. I’ve read and reread it multiple times but I still can’t figure out what the hell they’re trying to say.
Now after reading your and OP’s comments, I’m wondering if I’ve also been replied to by a bot.
yeah NGL the double quotation has me super confused in their first line, I think this is a pretty good example of what I am talking about and I appreciate you bring it to the thread.
