Funny enough i've been getting multiple daily notifications of people following me on reddit.. Never used that feature.. nor does anyone I know use it. All the names are clearly generated too. Is it a 3rd party? Is it Reddit trying to create user metrics as a social platform? It's all suspect at this point.
- danudey 3y agoIn my experience it's all OnlyFans porn spam, which I doubt are bots created by Reddit.
- devsegal 3y agoMaybe for you. Those girls were genuinely interested in my thoughts on philosophy.
- x0x0 3y agoJust share your credit card and they'll share even more... thoughts.
- wing-_-nuts 3y agocareful you're putting descartes before the wh... nevermind
- d0gsg0w00f 3y agoThanks. This made my day.
- anadem 3y agoWonderful!
- w0m 3y agoI assumed this is simply spammers as they accounts are ~always deleted quickly.
- missblit 3y agoI know I have accidentally followed like half a dozen people. Looks like the UI is a bit different now but it used to be way too easy to click that button.
- wlonkly 3y agoAs others said, those are non-Reddit-operated spambots. But as for the names, any new Reddit users gets a WordWord1234 type name now, and you have to go out of your way to change it, so there are also a lot of legitimate users using those generated names.
- tmaly 3y agoI noticed the same thing this past week. I am not very active, but people are following me daily.
- froggit 3y agoFunny, i get multiple daily notifications for suggestions on subreddits to follow. I'd love if we could just cut out the middleman and get the users following you to follow the threads that get suggested to me instead.
