There was an exploit released a few days back that could make thousands extremely fast (unsure of the number).The two top user instances at this point have 50k new users a piece, and 10 users active, lol.
Wouldn't a bot account be more likely to randomly upvote/downvote than a human?
Reddit always had a large number of lurkers who only had accounts to select which subs they wanted to see...
I also suspect they’re all bots.
I joined when users were 10k and I didn’t see any increase in engagement including comments and upvotes.
