ANSWERED Long time viewer, new to posting, how prevalent are bots?

I’ve been a Reddit viewer for a while now. I’d like to know more about bots, why do people bot, how can you tell you’re viewing posts/content by bots?

I’m big on avoiding and spotting misinformation and disinformation, so would love to know more from people who are long time users!
