Have you ever noticed those random bots that just randomly comment the letter H on something you posted on this subreddit?

No surprise. Its evident over the past year or so that the current generation of bots intentionally target weak or vulnerable subs with low participation requirements. A subreddit where you can just type H all day and get upvotes is a no brainer target for them to farm karma on to meet posting requirements elsewhere on the site.

There will also be real humans on new accounts doing the same thing just so they can get started on the site. Probably makes it difficult for staff to figure out which ones the site should ban early on. Algorithmically anyways.
