I would be surprised if Reddit was selling tools like that directly. Rather than just look the other way - because uncovering modern bot operations is a thankless threadmill, and user engagement metrics from fake users are still user engagement metrics.

to be fair, i once accidentally ended up on shreddit or new reddit or whatever they call it nowadays and i think there's something for managing your posts on reddit and seeing analytics about that or whatever

> uncovering modern bot operations

this significantly overestimates how sophisticated the spam waves are compared to like ability. the 80% of spam filtering basically never was really done as far as i can tell.

that's probably it tho
