minus-squareAnti-Face Weapon@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up1·1 year agoMy understanding of how this works is that that left one is real accounts making real comments, at least in the majority. Then when the link gets reposted, either by a bot or naturally, potentially depending on the title, the bots scrape the old comments and post them. It’s content farming. And Reddit is probably okay with this.
