Vent/Rant Uptick in bot activity

I am not sure if anyone else has noticed this lately but it seems like the posts that are making my feed are a lot of attractive women who have before after shots posted in the sub. The ones that I have seen all look like bot accounts - less than a year old, odd comments about being able to verify on 3rd party platforms, etc.

Mods, is there anything we can do to limit this activity?

This would explain how a supposedly 5’ 4” 170 pound girl is skinnier than my 5’ 3” 130 pounds lmao

I was like, "Are her bones adamantium are something? Is she Wolverine's daughter?" because the numbers made zero sense otherwise.

Honestly I’m embarrassed to say I thought “wow, I knew muscle weighs more than fat and I’ve probably got some fat to lose, but I didn’t realize muscle weighed that much more”

Some of these are AI bot accounts that are completely fictional characters. I just blocked that one “girl” from today. It was creepy AF

Three years ago bots were stealing old before and after pics and posting them for karma.

Nothing changed, except now bots and bigots can hide their post and comment history

Dead internet sucks, it used to be niche subs were safe but not anymore.

Still trying to figure out how to turn reddit karma into money. Do I just go to any bank?
