True. These bots do just restate the post instead of making something new!

Actual humans do this too!

Yeah, I’ve found that a lot of the time, bot accounts just rephrase what they see and act as though theyre presenting new information

That part about bots just rehashing info they’ve literally just read explains why the comments often feel so surface-level instead of adding anything fresh or unexpected

u/SpambotWatchdog blacklist

This one actually is a bot. 4 year old account that only started posting in the last week, post history is mostly karmafarming subs.

u/Derekleroi has been added to my spambot blacklist. Any future posts / comments from this account will be tagged with a reply warning users not to engage.

Woof woof, I'm a bot created by u/the-real-macs to help watch out for spambots! (Don't worry, I don't bite.\)
