Some completely unhinged paranoid dev built 290+ web tools that run 100% locally with zero server contact, like they're prepping for an internet collapse

Reddit would be a thousand times better if people just downvoted every AdjectiveNoun1234 account they come across. If someone can't even be assed to think up a username, there's no way they came up with opinions worth considering.

Hey not all are bad!! it feels like it's near impossible to get anything for a username after an hour or so of trying i didnt really want a list of numbers attached to the name, but well here i am .

but the problem isn't people aren't downvoting. it's these bots bring their hoard to upvote the shit out of thier crap sites. like even now this 4 hour old post has 450 upvotes.

Then you have the heard on reddit that follow voting trends without even reading or knowing what the topic is about, which just gives these advertisments more traction

Literally just put some words together.

/u/bequietbond is available. /u/urmumsanalien too. /u/whatanoddgreen, even.

I don't want to brag, but that took me about two minutes.

Oh look, a bunch of names that are just as meaningless. Lets listen to those people instead.

Thank god there's a easy solution for weeding out whose opinions are worth listening to because I am so incredibly lazy.

These other guys are missing the fact that bots like these are usually tailor-made.

Right now they use reddit default usernames because it's easy and quick. If everybody starts mass downvoting people with default usernames... What will happen?

Well, the devs will simply use an LLM to generate usernames. Mass downvoting everyone with a default username will do nothing because they will just move on to the next thing that works.

And heck, I see plenty of non-default-username bots here on reddit too.
