Are any of these accounts bots?

Or maybe how many of these accounts are bots?

Are they all bots?

Around 95% accounts are bots. Around 90% if we are positive and assume that a lot of redditors joined since the bot farming started.

I'm looking active user all time. It's 50k person

The platform has 3 years so I was thinking more in terms of real human made accounts.

Active doesn't count people who just lurk though. So while the majority of these new accounts are bots, there are still more than 50k real people.
