    Nah, take a look at the top comments in any of the default subreddits. They’re either copy/pastes of the top comment from the last time the same meme was posted, or they’re very clearly LLM-generated. Most of the big subs are absolutely loaded with bot activity these days.

      I went thru the profiles of 10 different users whose comments were on top of the most popular subreddits and none of them seemed like bot profiles. I’m quite confident in my original statement.

      The copy/paste thing has been true for years even before the Reddit API exodus. Also bot-farms have been active for quite some time as well.
