The bot I identified above is merely one of thousands.
Here’s more information about how it works.
There seems to be two bot types, I call them fishers and farmers.
Farmers post in the sub all day everyday and only that sub
Probable Farmer bot example: u/NoMushroom6584
Fishers post in the sub too, but also some other strategic subs, usually involving young people like r/Genz, r/teenagers, and weirdly, subs for different countries. Disproportionally, countries within the Russian geopolitical sphere. I believe the goal is to lead people from those subs back to r/shortguys, where the farmers have cultivated lots of propaganda.
Probable fisher bot example: u/Landstreicher21
I’ve observed the same thing with r/truerateddiscussions, r/smalldickproblems, r/ugly, and more
Why don’t you take a look at some of those subreddits and attempt to identify the patterns yourself? You seem interested in the topic.
