yes, 50% are bots. the larger ones infested, and its usually always propaganda bots. you hear bots replying to bots, and ai bot posting. NEWS, and any news related sub, politics and any related sub are infested.
pics, all the intersting subs(interesting, intesrsingfuck, daminstering), natureislit, natureismetal is also infested with ai bot posts. all the AITA type subs is obvious, most of the ask subs. small niche subs are less affected, as are subs that require some kind of metric.(music, sports, celebrity discussion, movies, shows)
The general subs aka the ones you see on the front page, are full of them. Niche ones like cryptography won’t have much bot activity, but it’s definitely not zero either.
Yeah it depends on the sub but for the bigger ones it’s absolutely infested, if you go to one of the subs which takes removing bots transparently like the Tumblr ones you can get a sense of the scale.
is Reddit really flooded with bots? I only visit the cryptography subreddit which seems pretty human to me
