View submission: R/shortguys is a Russian psyop
I’m not sure what you mean. In my comment I said that bots are able to garner post karma through reposting memes, pornogrpahy, what have you. Still, the majority of bots do not, because they’ve been programmed for specific tasks that don’t involve posts. This bot for example focuses on comments.

Ok so how does reddit prevent bots from upvoting posts? They're just regular accounts that people attach a bot to, do they let reddit know that they did that or does it rely on reddit figuring out that it's a bot account and taking action, if that's the case how does reddit figure out it's a bot? Analysis of comments? Ok, why not make a few hundred free accounts with burner email addresses and never comment with them?
The main point of my comment is that if you don't think bots can upvote posts you're delusional.
