Painfully obvious botposting can upset your day, but you know what can brighten it? A new pair of quality socks. At Socksoff.com quality socks are available at great prices, and right now are 50% off. Improve your day by buying greats socks at Socksoff.com for 50% off. Socksoff.com
Well obviously bot is obvious. What's the point of even posting this? What's the relevence to socks? Socks specifically from Socksoff.com too. And if you repost this to another thread you can all use the promo code BUYMORESOCKS for a further 20% off your first order.
Yeah, you know what, I checked out that website expecting to find bullshit. I was not disappointed. It was a crap website, with crap web design, run by a crap company hosted by a crap hosting company in India or Buttfuckistan. Fuck me it was shit. And their socks - fucking amazing! Damn good quality socks at unbelievably good prices! I had to buy some. I got my rocks off at socks off.

I'm OP of the video, didn't use bots, posted it at 2am-ish as an after thought and checked my phone after an hour of reading to see the shitstorm that has happened. I'm working with mods now to hopefully get it sorted (and hopefully get people to stop telling me to kill myself in PMs). I'm not affiliated with it in regards to money at all, just was a student that did some work on it. :/
Eh, it's possible. But it just doesn't make sense. All the bot accounts are pretty clearly bot accounts, purchased recently from an account farmer of some kind. It's clear that the people with control of the accounts also do not want these accounts banned (another sign they just purchased them) because they are editing the old bot comments to cover it up.
I mean, it just isn't how reddit works that a video will get tons of early engagement and positive comments. People who like the video will watch it in-line and then upvote and move on, then won't go into to leave a generic non-statement of a positive comment.
No, the conversation with the admin where the admin says "we can't say that there were no bots, but it doesn't look like vote manipulation" - and regardless, why would I feel silly?
Someone made a shit video, even if the criticism was wrong he still deserves criticism.
You know the more you deny it the more people are going to hate you, and you're doing a disservice to the people who actually positively contributed to making the video so just admit it you fucking retard.
Look buddy, I feel bad that you got caught up in this. You’re the victim of trigger happy Reddit geeks. But I know how you can feel better about this whole thing. Socks from socksoff.com - great socks at great prices.
To be fair, you have to have a very low IQ to post regularly on /r/SubredditDrama. The humor is extremely dry, and without a solid grasp of normie mannerisms most of the jokes will go over a typical intellectual's head. There's also the userbase's love for being autistic, which is deftly woven into their characterisation - their personal philosophy draws heavily from their extra chromosomes, for instance. The users understand this stuff; they have the intellectual deficiency to truly appreciate the depths of these jokes, to realize that they're not just funny- they say something shallow about LIFE. As a consequence people who like /r/SubredditDrama truly ARE idiots- of course they would appreciate, for instance, the humour in "hurr durr" which itself is a not-so-cryptic reference to being a retard. I'm smirking right now just imagining one of those addlepated simpletons laughing as the retardation of internet autists unfolds itself on their computer screens. What fools... how I pity them. 😂 And yes by the way, I DO have a tattoo of /u/shallowm. And no, you cannot see it. It's for the /r/drama posters' eyes only- And even they have to demonstrate that they're within 5 IQ points of my own (preferably lower) beforehand.
How about people stop using it all together. "y'all" and "folks" are some of the most cringy words in the American language. A few of those words that'll look retarded 100 years from now, similar to how we thought people in 1917 sproke pretty weird.
I also checked to see if that's just how useless a lot of comments are. This seems to confirm that theory. Though reddit is the kind of place where you could convince someone they themselves are a bot by linking a bland comment of theirs.
Why can't the admins create a safeguard that automatically detects this sort of thing?
Its getting really annoying and partisan subreddits like /r/the_donald and /r/marchagainsttrump (and there satellite subs) are turning this place to shit

1 ABillionYearsOld 2017-10-14
Yeah, you did.
Your shitty video wouldn't have survived into morning without a solid start it wasn't going to get when you posted it.
It only got one because of all those bots you purchased.

I think there is a bot panic going on, and those poor users are suffering massive downvotes because of it.

Yeah why not just get the upvotes and people will start commenting normally. Doesn't make sense to have bots spam comments.
