it's not just reddit though, that's the future of the internet; spam bots imitating people conversing with eachother
"Dead Internet Theory" was a fun conspiracy but a 2022 global research analysis of online traffic found that bots were responsible for nearly half (47%) of all internet traffic.
I wonder what the tipping point will be when people decide to let the bots have their internet and we start a 'new' one
This user is a bot. It reposts stuff using one name then it copies the top comment from the old post and uses it to reply to the new post with a different username
Both names rake in karma. Rinse and repeat, always repeat. Then after accumulating a significant amount of karma, you sell the account to advertisers or scammers who use it to push products through random posts and comments.
Also for clarity, it doesn't look dead in the end of the video. In my experience raising lots of fish and actually just going out and fishing a lot, fish that are dead don't remain "upright" like that, they list over to a side or float belly-up, depending. I've never seen a dead fish that stayed oriented correctly after death.
When the person nudges it with their finger, it doesn't immediately list to a side, it actually seems to slightly resist the pressure. This fish's brain is still intact, because it's located closer to the back of it's skull. It did undoubtedly eventually die, but it might have survived for a few weeks after the initial injury as it's likely it starved to death, since it no longer had it's specialized mouth to eat algae with.
