Or just when there is a movement a protests there is always a bunch of people against the protest.
Bunch of redditors are pissed off that we ruin their addiction.
In the account I checked, somes had a selfie of themselves that werent indexed on google yet. To me it point out it’s more likely a genuine account

The real people I’m not commenting on, I’m commenting on the bots. The question is why they’re reviewing the Reddit app, and that’s basically unknowable without an investigation well beyond my skill level and pay grade. They could be a bot network trying to build credibility or a bot network cashing out and leaving paid reviews.

You seems to miss my point from the very beginning: I’m saying it’s maybe not bots. Don’t fall into confirmation bias.

You’re the one who said some of the reviews were copies of legitimate reviews! What else would that be besides bots? I’m not making any definite conclusions about why those bots are there, in fact I was trying to be explicit about the fact that we can’t assume intent, but the bots are there.
