Comment on Is there any proof behind the idea that "reddit is filled with bots"?
JeremyHuntQW12@lemmy.world 5 weeks agoLook at the any post about Israel or trans.
The number of likes is completely out of proportion to anything else. A top political post mught get 1.2k likes, a question maybe 4k, an Israel bot will get 23k, all short replies or replies repeating the original post in that section.
A trans post would get 22k likes, and literally the day after the election they vanished, thye now get well under 500.
With a high like count, it gets pushed up into popular and it makes their view look more popular than is actually is.
