Reddit has been a bot nightmare for a decade. And let's not forget the role of US military at Eglin AFB and 8200 Influence operations on that platform; Ghislaine Maxwell's u/maxwellhill is still one of the top accounts on that platform, and moderator of its no prominent subs like r/worldnews, r/politics and r/technology almost a decade after her arrest as part of the Epstein investigation.
Influence operations are Reddit bread and butter. The issue here is only if they're dumb bots, smart bots, or compromised humans.
