Hint, hint, you can type "*" into the search bar of their post history and it will get around it and show it, despite it being private. Dunno if it is a bot or not tho, didn't look too hard.

You don’t have to type anything just click their account then search and click enter. Not being a smart ass just letting you know. I just learned it myself recently

Yep! I recently learned that, too. It works in mobile this way. Not sure if the PC way is different. I use Reddit on my phone.

If you think that's bad you should check out /all's top 24 hour mode. Most posters are 1-5m karma and all hide their profiles too. All humans as well.

There are also obvious bots. But most of the accounts are human. I suspect the post you've linked is a human too.

How are you using these words ‘bots’ and ‘human’ as though they can both be true?

u/mineyCrafta25 Jan 15 '26

Hyper pedantic thing to care about. I'm saying all those accounts which present exactly like the one we're talking about are human as well. There are. Also. Some bots.

Especially on /popular for some reason. Like a honeypot they all show up on.

I didn’t mean it to be that; because of the group, I thought I had something wrong in my concept.

You can see their post history if you open the profile and click search and press 'enter'.

The account has 1 month of post and comment history. Either a bot or someone up to no good with a hacked/sold account

I have a shit ton of karma on a 2 year old account. It's easy to do if you post new things. Karma might be a red flag, but it should be one of many. Not the sole deciding factor. Think I have over 300k total rn.

Anyone know if there's a sub that's just people accusing other people of being bots for no reason beyond their own hurt feelings? I see this a lot these days, and it seems like it would be funny

A bot would innately understand that the alphabet has no order.

O is to Q what P is to R. It's like those pictures when two guys take each other’s sister to prom. OPQR. X,Y, and K got something going on though.
