I’ve been part of Reddit subs with two hundred people. Then overnight it jumped to thousands. And we got flooded with posts. Once you realize at least half the users on any given thread are bots you start to question why you are wasting your time. You might be the only human in a comment section

I had a weird black mirror type experience where I tried to call out a bot, and more bots replied to me. Their responses didn't even follow what I said.

I have been part of this happening in real time on reddit. Lol a person asked a question about files and the bot lost the plot and started saying weird shit like "my boss is so silly, but he's a good boss"...in a menopause sub 🤣🤣 the bot glitched a few times. I reported it and by the time I came back a few seconds later, the bot was banned.
