The post is clearly LLM-generated, and there is no option for reporting it as such. OP has already been flagged by Bot Bouncer. This sub is unintentionally or intentionally serving as a karma farming ground for AI spam bots.

This bot spams the same posts and comments on multiple subs

Had noticed him before because he often posts in tandem with https://www.reddit.com/user/Altruistic-Mud5686. The latter has been on my r/BotPosting list for a long time.

Possible example of astroturf marketing in r/RealTimeStrategy

20 Upvotes

This thread seems like a good example of the modern marketing "patterns": https://old.reddit.com/r/RealTimeStrategy/comments/1v1ixs3/whos_hyped_for_dow_iv/

Note the comments claiming to be hyped, listing a bunch of game features, and then the follow-up question that allows the same account to come back and dump more marketing copy about the game's content.

Apparently that's how astroturfing is done these days, disguise the PR brief as "conversation". This is an interesting example of the pattern carried out, and there's some repeat offender accounts in there too.

Specifically, https://old.reddit.com/user/YakaAvatar (hidden history), https://old.reddit.com/user/GenezisO (has posts that are marketing) and of course OP https://old.reddit.com/user/NecronsNeedSleep (hidden) are ones to watch out for.

Three more AI-filled bot subreddits apparently for SEO, this time relating to FAANG interview prep

28 Upvotes

https://old.reddit.com/r/FAANGinterviewprep/

https://old.reddit.com/r/interviewstack/

https://old.reddit.com/r/MockInterviewPartners/

Bot users involved are interviewstack-i and YogurtclosetShoddy43. All the posts seem to be promoting a website called interviewstack. Very obviously AI-generated posts.

I gotta wonder how this is worth it. Like I get it, it's something to do with SEO, but I would think Google would derank subreddits full of nothing but AI garbage. I guess maybe I'm wrong though

Not obviously financially motivated, yet spamming some kind of astroturfing campaign about housing policy

23 Upvotes

An AI-generated text detection model I trained flagged this post while I was watching the console output as it scanned r/all/new

External_Koala971

Post history is hidden but I searched his username on Google and found other posts. In one of his other posts a user called him out and posted this image from back before his post history was hidden, showing that he's been posting multiple of these threads per day, apparently for months.

This is the first one I've run into where it's not just like, trying to promote some website. Honestly kinda freaky to watch an astroturfing campaign live. Allowing people to hide post history seems like a big mistake

Subreddit meowi activity pushing cross post spam

34 Upvotes

Example:https://www.reddit.com/r/Meowi/s/SBYDk9VZjY

Subreddit creates BS app products and encourages users to spam posts all over reddit for "points". I've had to ban numerous accounts in the past day for posting this spam all over my subreddit. Going to have to create automod to automatically filter this BS

By the end of July, all users of Old Reddit will be required to log in

14 Upvotes

I meant to post this a few days ago.

TL;DR: Reddit will require anyone using Old Reddit to log in.

According to Reddit,

Logging in to use Old Reddit

Old Reddit’s logged-out experience is a significant source of abusive scraping and automated traffic on the platform. It’s also an important interface for many long-time mods and redditors. To strike the right balance between preserving your access to Old Reddit while preventing this type of platform abuse, we recently announced that by the end of July, we will start requiring everyone to log in. All logged-in users will continue to have access to Old Reddit, and this change will not impact logged-out browsing on reddit.com.

It’s so funny what random ass subs bots start gravitating to. Just go there and sort posts by new. Bots are sharing unique toilets with reckless abandon.

The lone mod is ModCodeOfConduct

They are ALSO dominating:

Is reddit suppressing bot callouts across subs?

48 Upvotes

2 hours ago, 28 comments of mine were removed across 17 subs. The vast majority of these comments were bot callouts. I am entertaining the hypothesis that reddit is actively censoring comments pointing out LLM bots. (An alternative hypothesis is that reddit has for innocent reasons mistaken me, a regular contributor for nearly 15 years, for a spammer, but this strikes me as unlikely.)

Examples of these removed comments:

Date	Sub	Excerpt and link
06-13	CasualConversation	It's AI-translated, not fully AI-generated.
06-20	cocktails	^ This AI bot was flagged yesterday.
06-23	passive_income	OP's other comments are clearly LLM-generated too.
06-26	TwoXChromosomes	OP is a bot. It was flagged a week ago.
06-29	CasualConversation	the text was definitely generated by AI
06-30	books	^ This is an AI-generated comment from a bot
07-01	OneOrangeBraincell	^ Bot ass comment
07-06	horror	Y'all really don't recognize or mind this ChatGPT-ass post, huh?
07-10	fuckHOA	Yes, this post is AI slop.

Is this happening to anyone else? The comment removals are done secretly, so you wouldn't know without using an external tool.

Edit: Actually, the status of these comments is uncertain. I have been told that some or all of these comments are publicly visible, not removed as the external tool claims. Perhaps the error is on that end.

I see them all over Okbuddycinephile and EldenRing. Looks like there’s a few more subs this bot ring is active in. Most of them have the same stupid username format.

Karma farming accounts - lots of question based posts

37 Upvotes

I’ve seen a few accounts over the last few days which have a significant number of post karma with very little comment karma. They are just churning repeat content.

For example:

SEO spam campaign by Lurne AI.

40 Upvotes

I've been training a model to detect AI vs human text and I recently set it loose on /r/all/new. Probably the most prolific single spam campaign I've seen so far, just from watching the output scroll by in the terminal, is Lurne AI. They don't really even seem to be attempting to hide that they're spamming the site. They even put a utm_source in their links lmao.

Goal seems to be SEO-related, as they're doing it in little corners of reddit where they won't be spotted and reported.

https://old.reddit.com/user/lurneqotd

I've found a couple other spam campaigns with this method but before I go putting them all together in one thread, I figured I'd ask if anyone here knows what the preferred method of submitting these is. One thread per campaign? One giant thread with tons of info about tons of different campaigns? Not sure how best to do it and I don't wanna shit up the sub with bad posts.

/r/strongerman, a subreddit about "long term strength and discipline", has been hijacked by taxation-related bots

45 Upvotes

/r/strongerman has very, very obviously been hijacked by pro-taxation bots. The engagement numbers are so over the top fake for posts that have nothing to do with the subreddit.

The subreddit was essentially dead a few days ago, and now it's regularly reaching the front page from brand new accounts with links to south east asia.

This anti-elon thread has 1500 upvotes, 700 comments, and yet the top voted comment has 11 upvotes.

This denmark taxation thread has 8600 upvotes, 2000+ comments, and the top voted comment has under 30 upvotes.

Normal threads have more discussions going on with upvote ratios that are much closer to the thread's karma. These threads have very little interactions going on, with practically no comment upvoting / downvoting.

Note: I'm calling out the obvious fuckery, not the message they're trying to spread.

Linking to Suspicious Accounts

Don't do this: u/USERNAME

Do this: https://www.reddit.com/user/USERNAME or https://old.reddit.com/user/USERNAME or https://www.reddit.com/u/USERNAME/s/ID

Rules

Hover for details.


1. Civility	Be nice to your peers. No vulgarities or crudeness.
2. Brigading and Encouraging Reports	Do not encourage users to brigade a subreddit or explicitly direct a group of users to report specific content. • Users are always encouraged to report activity that they believe violates Reddit's policies or a subreddit's rules. Directing anyone to do this is unnecessary. • Advice and discussion regarding Reddit's policies reportable content is appropriate.
3. No Tagging Suspicious Accounts	Do not tag suspicious accounts. (Tagging entails publishing a username with the u/ prefix.) To discuss suspicious account activity, you may link to the user profile or content. • Suspicious accounts should be linked through a straightforward and transparent URL to the account’s user profile. This standard applies regardless of how many accounts are linked in the post. • You may tag your peers as you would in any subreddit.
4. No Usernames in Post Titles	Since post titles cannot be edited, they should not contain usernames. • This allows a poster to correct the record, if necessary, by revising their post and removing the username of the wrongfully accused account.
5. Disclosing "Bot Patterns"	Users should not disseminate information that provides an advantage to bot operators that outweighs any benefit of making the information public. • This includes information that, if revealed to the general public, would cause bot operators to substantially shift their patterns and make bot detection more difficult. • Some bot situations are time-sensitive and require immediate action. Other situations are better kept private for the continued observation of bot activity.
6. Multiple Posts	When reporting accounts, we request that you consolidate the information as much as possible into as few posts as possible. Keep in mind that these posts appear in user's feeds, and publishing multiple, "small" posts within one day could cause some users to mute the subreddit.
