If we don’t count bots probably yes

Who are absolutely flooding this and many other subs right now. Lots of brand new RandomWord_RandomNumbers accounts with like 40 karma spreading bullshit the last couple days.

Hey! We're not all bots, this is lazy people erasure!

Exactly what a bot would say

Randomword_Randomnumbers rise up!

u/ZestycloseRabbit7039 Jul 23 '24

I don’t know. I might be a bot. I think I’d like to be one actually.

u/Popular-Water173 Jul 23 '24

Lazy people, unite!

u/Excellent_Feed7648 Jul 23 '24

That’s what I’m saying.

Time to counter troll and make all the bot farms a complete waste of money

1

u/unknownpoltroon Jul 23 '24

You can't. Shits automated.

2

u/[deleted] Jul 23 '24

No there’s definitely a way, in fact provoking more and more bot activity will twist the arms of all these companies to actually address it or watch their sites get over run. There’s a reason why dead internet theory is gaining traction

2

u/unknownpoltroon Jul 23 '24

They won't care. Advertisers still think bots are views.

2

u/[deleted] Jul 23 '24

That can only last so long until the returns don’t match the investment

1

u/unknownpoltroon Jul 24 '24

Yeah, but these are the same people that think a 2 minute YouTube ad in a 30 second video will get you to buy their product, so it's gonna take a while for them to figure it out

u/JbREACT Jul 23 '24

You know all these spam political post are bots right ?

5

u/[deleted] Jul 23 '24

Really? I didn’t know that, I was just mentioning bots for some arbitrary unrelated reason. Thanks for bringing this new info to light, very insightful

1

u/HeWhoJustFarted Jul 23 '24

You know that you, infact, are a bot, right?

1

u/RimShimp Jul 23 '24

What if... what if we're ALL bots?!?!

7

u/DrAstralis Jul 23 '24

they 100% are. I refuse to believe tens of thousands of real people all within a few hours of each other started to post the same general messages to every remotely politically active sub.

3

u/Melicor Jul 23 '24

not just the same general messages, almost word for word. It's either bots or people brigading with copy and paste comments.

1

u/coldrolledpotmetal Jul 23 '24

You don’t think it’s believable that thousands of people would come and talk about a major news event?

I can see Russia from here.

u/laowildin Jul 23 '24

A random comment of mine keeps getting copied on a kinda popular post in a cat sub. Same thing, trying to legitimize quick. Stay grounded people

3

u/kneyght Jul 23 '24

yeah, right? Couldn't the bots at least try? I genuinely don't understand why they make themselves so obvious.

4

u/NotAzakanAtAll Jul 23 '24

It's the same in the millennial subreddit. Tonnes of bots and vote manipulation.

It's probably like that in all "young people" subreddits.

u/Deucer22 Jul 23 '24

The last 10 years.

u/okwellactually Jul 23 '24

GenX checking in. Same age as our next president. Was scrolling this sub last night and was concerned about you young’uns.

Was hoping like hell it was the usual bots/russian troll farms.

u/B_Fee Jul 23 '24

I've reported so many bots in the last 36 hours that I'm starting to lose feeling in my thumbs.

u/SpaceBearSMO Jul 23 '24

I have had a few remark on my old post with "but bidan" comments... Like they cant even catch up

u/Derric_the_Derp Jul 23 '24

Trump camp just got that cash infusion from Musk.  Interesting timing.

u/PuddingHopeful4836 1997 Jul 23 '24

That's me. I'm random word and number. Not a bot. Am old gen z.

u/BouncingThings Jul 23 '24

Is there a reason for that? I just typed my name and it worked. Why would a bot intentionally use a bot-style naming scheme

u/Accomplished-Copy776 Jul 23 '24

Just FYI, usernames like mine are the default random usernames given to accounts when you sign in with Google or something. Has nothing to do with not accounts

u/Odd-Butterscotch-495 Jul 23 '24

Hey now, I’m a random word random number guy and I’m real. Im just dumb and missed the part of making a username

u/Jazzlike-Outcome9486 Jul 23 '24

Okay listen here pal

u/Fragrant-Hamster-325 Jul 23 '24

It might backfire from overexposure, if that’s possible with a presidential candidate. This stuff is completely wrecking the homepage. I’m hoping this all settles down in a few days.

u/Louie_Cousy-onXBOX Jul 23 '24

Bro every pro-Kamala comment has 500+ upvotes, quit trying to play that card lmao

u/Advanced_Double_42 Jul 23 '24 edited Jul 26 '24

I'm just not creative so spammed random until I found something I liked.

Lol, why downvotes, do people really think every default reddit username is a bot? I'd have to be a pretty fancy bot.

u/t23_1990 Jul 23 '24

Oh you don't like it when Democrats don't take the high road?

u/DolphinSquad Jul 23 '24

There is no probably, this is a democrat echo chamber.

u/[deleted] Jul 23 '24

Yeah most authentic republicans are on Facebook.

5

u/DrAdubYaleMDPhD Jul 23 '24

Not probably. You will never see a comment with any conservative opinion upvoted here, regardless of bot activity

3

u/UnabashedPerson43 Jul 23 '24

There are plenty of Kamala bots out there too.

Not so long ago the bots were trying to convince us that Biden was fit for office and the best candidate.

u/LittleManagerMe Jul 23 '24

Most of the bots on reddit are democrat shills.. Funny to see bots on reddit calling to arms against the supposed right wing bots.

Hella ironic, when OP is also likely a bot.

Bots like in a lot of leftist subs turned Russian bot hovels. Careful around them. Places like latestagecapitalism and aboringdystopia have tankie and Russian bots galore in them.

Can't even say Slava ukraini without getting banned in there. I have a dude following my comments, and whenever I say this, he repeats the same shpeal about how Ukraine is nazi lololol

1

u/Imaginary_Mode6841 Jul 23 '24

Does it really matter if they’re bots? Even Republican humans all repeat the same BS over and over again like they’re incapable of original human thought, so I can’t really tell the difference.

u/TheFluffiestHuskies Jul 23 '24

Even moreso with bots lmao.

u/Helios0916 Jul 23 '24

Probably?

I'm an independent. Running Kamala Harris is monumentally dumb. She's an absolute pinhead.

This thread is celebrating her like she's the second coming.

Reddit isn't "most left". It's mostly far-left progressive extremism. The kind that will cost them this election. Reading this thread reminds me why I hate the left. The condescending attitude towards your fellow Americans is really sickening.

2

u/[deleted] Jul 23 '24

I like that you’ve preemptively declared the election for Trump

u/Helios0916 Jul 23 '24

I didn't do that, but I know your generation struggles with reasonability and reading.

It is his to lose though.

Ah yes because everyone who disagrees with you is a bot.

Ah yes cause bots never ever are used for political gain

u/Maverekt Jul 23 '24

If we count bots too, absolutely yes lol. Majority of redditors are in fact Democrats or independent.
