So many comments/posts look like bots.

Reddit always had a "repost" problem. But this time, not only am I feeling like I already saw this post, but also all the top comments? Just regurgitation of posts from years ago.

Its karma farm, they wait to repost a popular post, then post the most popular comments from the old one verbatim. Its gotten really bad

Reddit's repost problem was brain doners posting rEPOsT!!!1!! on every fucking thread like everyone else was able to no life the internet as hard as them.

How many times did you see something new to you only for the comments section to be a shitstorm of people harassing op for not posting OC like reddit wasn't a fucking news aggregator designed specifically to repost crap.
