Like people always say reddit is filled with bots, but I looked through the users of the top posts and didn’t find evidence that they are bots.
Like how do you know who is a bot? Is there things to look out for?
Edit: And I’d appreciate it if there are real examples of bots getting caught and the evidence of them being bots.
Maybe start here: https://www.reddit.com/r/LearnUselessTalents/comments/15tzjkb/how_to_identify_bots_on_reddit/
Oh no I might be a bot and didn’t know it yet
OP may benefit from RTFM

Wow, thanks man. Guess I’m going to be looking for bots now. Never knew they were that prevalent and diverse.
That’s exactly what a BOT would say!!
Agree, 10/10
I’m not calling you that.
But I am very cute.
What’s even wilder is the market for user accounts. I went into that rabbithole once and it was very interesting. Multiple sites you can filter for-sale accounts by age, karma, types of subreddits visited, comment count, etc etc. all for sale, and looking to buy. $300-600 I remember seeing. Probably a lot more too, but this was awhile ago.
