I never knew any of that. I was concerned about Reddit because I didn’t want to spend money on awards to give out if I was giving them out to bots.

Another poster helped me with looking at usernames for word/number combinations and I’ve just learned to look through people’s post histories to find some basic signs of an automatic “karma-farming account”.

You’ve helped me today and I thank you for it.

I really appreciate this!

Hello: I am not technologically-minded but I would like to understand more about this. If someone could tell me based on this information, about what percentage of Reddit accounts are bots? I was considering buying Reddit Premium but I honestly think I may want to step away from the internet more than I have (I have no social media) if all I’m doing is talking to bots.

Would someone mind filling an old woman in? I read the article and didn’t quite understand it all. I appreciate it.
