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?

    Most subs does not allow you to post if your account is new or is below a certain amount of karma or both. So propagandists are gonna need farm karma in order to begin spreading propaganda.

    Bots are used to influence opinions.

    Think about it.

    Wanna see a country go to civil war?

    Make 2 sets of propaganda target towards 2 groups of people, make them hate each other.
