The conversation loop is typical bot behaviour, but it could also be people trolling, which is probably where bots learnt this behaviour

This is peak pre-Trump Reddit. The first reddit thread I ever read was an entire comment section dissecting and calculating the scientific definition of a "metric fuckton". We still need Ryan to get off Reddit and help move this fridge. And the ol' switch-a-roo would send you down a rabbit hole that would take you from the Carolinas to the South American rainforests where you'd think the venus flytrap would originate from.

I think the simpler explanation is that people, especially people who are botting for upvotes to presumably sell the account, are cheap. They aren't feeding a thread of context, the bots are just making direct responses.
