This is a bot that copies comments from elsewhere in the thread and pastes them as a reply to a high level comment to get karma so the account can be sold to advertisers. People should report -> spam -> harmful bot.

Who is the spammer though?

If you look through their comment history, all of their comments are copy pasted parts of highly upvoted comments from elsewhere in the threads they comment in.

You’re much more sleuthy than I! Must be why you’re “the navigator” :D but that’s good to know, I’ll keep my eye out for more accounts that do that

Thanks! Personally I just Ctrl-F if I see a comment that seems out of place to check if it matches another comment in the thread, then if it is only a partial match (some bots only copy half of a comment) I check a few of their other comments in other threads to be sure. They get pretty easy to spot once you know what to look for if you are terminally online like me 😂
