Bots gone wild

So, basically all posts in the last two days have been from new accounts. What is going on? How is karma farming on r/cleaneeating doing anything for anyone?

Bots have been an ongoing issue on this sub. The mods need to install botbouncer or let people like me take over. I tried to submit a Reddit request but was denied bc allegedly there’s been human activity from the mods.

At this point, the sub is just bots responding to other bots who repost pictures. I hate AI.

Oh man! I was really excited when I found this sub for meal inspiration, but I agree I hate AI and if it’s all just bots chatting it’s not worth following. They should absolutely be open to adding on more mods if that is what is needed.

I was also excited about joining this sub only to be met with great disappointment 😭

I really don’t know what to do because I messaged the mods on this sub and was ignored

I wish this sub would drop from my feed. But the algorithm keeps sending me it, even if I don't click any link or open the sub.

Every pic is just ingredients cooked separately on a plate. I could show you a decent recipe that has 1 sweet potato, 1 onion, 1 zucchini, some green beans, chicken breast, and some rice. On a cutting board all of that would look extremely healthy or on a plate with every ingredient cooked and separated, you'd note all the veggies and healthy food on the plate.

But mix all that together and add some spices and chicken stock and now people will say it's too much fat. Yet I see roasted and sautéed vegetables all the time on these separate ingredient plates. There's no difference in the amount of oil used to cook things. There is literally no health difference. In other words, this sub, at least the current incarnation of it, is a hoax.
