So, I briefly visited reddit twice over the past 2 days and I noticed something interesting. Each time I visited, I had a new reply to one of my recent posts. Each time, the reply was pretty obviously from a bot account (newly created username with a non-sensical reply). I'm speculating that reddit is being infiltrated by bots. Clearly, I only have 2 tiny data points to support this notion. But I wonder if an influx of bots, coupled with the loss of popular subreddits will be difficult for reddit to deal with. Basically, if reddit is suddenly filled with noise (bots) it may reduce the desire of real humans to return. </speculation>
