The internet is swarmed with bots. I would estimate something like 25% of all Reddit, X/Twitter, YouTube and Facebook comments come from bots. Perhaps higher.
It's not like r/CMV was some purely human oasis in the Reddit bot-sea.
It's a tough pill to swallow, but the internet is dead as far as open forum communications go. We need to get a solid understand of the scope, scale, and solutions to this problem -- because, trust you me, it will be exploited if not.
