There is an insane amount of botting going on in big tech sites, well done for the find. I even caught strange voting bot behaviour in the MRA subreddit awhile ago and did some experimenting with mod permission. They were upvoting stuff based on keywords and even did it with the comments, the vote changes were instant so that's how I know. I think even people on this site who aren't very tech savvy don't really understand how widespread the problem is and it's all put there so they can fake traffic and make money off advertisers.
Weird shit like 'women' etc. and they would auto-upvote by about 6 - 8 votes, this is how I can spot botting behaviour on this site when they're targeting specific users.
This past year reddit has become a closed loop of reposts and karma bots.
I've seen my goddamn posts getting stolen for repeat ask reddit posts. Literally last year's thread posted again and populated by the replies from last year's thread.
Reddit is so fake & gay that the post was a bot reposting something from years ago.

What keywords?

Nobody would waste their time botting upvotes on this site.
Dead internet theory strikes again.

It's like that movie Groundhog Day but incredibly gay. Needle Nose Ned is a moderator.
