Some of Reddit's early users were sock puppet accounts run by the founders, which are different than bots. The sock puppet accounts were, in fact, interesting to engage with since they were run by interesting & literate people. Since presumably a conversation is what you came for, you got what you wanted. Quite different from talking to a bot on a dating site where you came to initiate an IRL interaction which could never happen.
