Half the users may as well be bots anyway, it’s just dorks yelling the same catch phrases at each other in the comments.

Will the bots be what ends it?

Have a look at r/wholesomememes; they decided to allow only original content (no bots or reposts), and, after two days the only post was one begging human users to post anything original.
Much more than half the users are bots.

Subs like that are bot farms for sure, but it’s been common knowledge for a decade that the default subs are awful. The ratio in smaller subs is probably a lot better.
Besides, I think things did get better there after a while?

I just had a look… there were four posts yesterday.
Seven the day before.
For a sub with over 17 million subscribers.It doesn’t look much better, I’d say.
