      It wouldnt be that hard to script this if you already had a bunch of accounts and were just copying existing threads. What’s interesting is that there were no other people accidentally joining in at any point. So either this was done by reddit and the timestamps are all ‘fake’, or this was done at a weird time in a niche community with low engagement.

      Either way it’s either astroturfing or someone farming up the karma in their bot farm to make them more attractive for sale (to get around comment/karma minimums)
