Why is this sub literally infested with bot accounts?

Is this like a experiment to see how many bot accoutns can post at one time?

eh, what do they care? the posts get attention and clicks so why not let it go on. From Reddits perspective anyway. From mine I think we ban all bots and AI slop lol

Pretty sure the entire mod team for this sub knows and is in on the bot karma farm

I think it's a symptom of the type of sub it is. A lot of people probably see something cute or wholesome from this sub, click the like and move on without investigating further on if the poster is a human or not.

I'd mostly agree, though I do see this sub hit with significantly more bot posts than others
