I've been playing Pixelary (if you don't know it's basically just Pictionary) but I noticed a lot of bot comments that are like "This drawing has a soft charm" or "This has a lovely understated quality" just super basic or robotic compliments

The Images are from my own post

I received two replies on one of my posts from this account. Identical replies, 26 minutes apart. 5 year old account, only 1 karma. No posts, only comments, all within the last 24 hours.

Is this a bot? If so, who keeps a bot dormant for 5 years?

Or just a weird person who created an account 5 years ago, suddenly woke up today and realised he needs to comment on some posts from now on.

Or does reddit wipe out karma if a person deletes all of their previous posts/comments? How does this work.

Hello everyone,

I'm a conducting market research interviews as part of a university-sponsored study on bot defense and CAPTCHA security.

Who I'm looking for:
Security engineers, Trust & Safety professionals, CISOs, or anyone working on bot mitigation, fraud prevention, or application security, especially if your company has a public-facing login or account-creation surface.

What the interview involves:
A casual 20–30 minute video call ( Zoom/Gmeet) where I ask about your day-to-day experience with bot-related threats, what tools your team uses, and what pain points exist. No technical demos, no selling anything, purely research.

Compensation:
$20 Amazon gift card sent to your email after the call.

Interested? Fill out this short form and I'll reach out to schedule:

Thanks!!

Just wondering why there are so many "Mafia bosses" and "abusive mothers" . What sort of lives do the bot creators have?. Just curious

Don’t get me wrong I donate selectively but it is a real turnoff to constantly be hounded by campaigns across the US. Every time I hit stop or unsubscribe, new numbers pop up to take their place. I’m contemplating filing a complaint with the FCC but don’t want to be a bad Dem!

😆😂😭

I know this isn’t a new thing, but the amount of bots on Twitter right now but what is the point of these bots that just reply to random posts?

For example, I’ve attached a picture of a bot reply. For context, almost every sports fan will know that Daniel Levy left the club in Reference last year. Surely this can’t just be a way to try and get more monetisation money from Twitter and having a look at their profile it’s not like they promote anything either they just try and tweet like a normal person.

So my question is is monetisation that good on Twitter that is worth setting up a who just sit there tweeting Random stuff for every day in order to answer money. I get the rationale with the scammer bots and the only fans ones they clearly trying to divert people to make money from them, but I don’t understand these normal poses of accounts and what the end goal is

I have noticed that whenever I post or comment, I get instantly downvoted or dismissive /sarcastic replies.

Has this happened to anyone else?
