View submission: R/shortguys is a Russian psyop
why is it hard for bots to upvote posts or get post karma?
This is really sad. There's a whole industry out there trying to make kids hate themselves, and it's not the diet industry this time.

Reddit prevents bots from upvoting posts, but not comments. For a bot to get post karma, it would need to create an engaging post that real users upvote. That is why most bots do not have post karma. But beware - some do, usually through posting porn or funny images.
The posts this bot engages with seems to encourage kids to take their own lives for being short. We need to get the word out about this.
