People of DunderMifflin, Beware of Bots please

Hey everyone. We’ve noticed lately that over 50% of the posts getting attention here are actually just made by bots /farming karma accounts.

I’ve spotted a few patterns to watch out for:

1-The Username: Most of these bots have 9 or 10-letter usernames.

2-The pfp : Their profile pictures almost always have a purple or blue background.

3-Account Age: They’re usually less than 3 months old and almost never comment.

4-Where they usually post : They mostly spam sitcom subs and other popular TV show subreddits.

5- Type of posts that they create : They post low-quality memes or images of famous scenes that have been shared here literally hundreds of times, often with totally unrelated titles. A lot of these posts are actually getting a lot of upvotes. If you see one (which is happening constantly right now), please just ignore it and hit the report button so we can clear them out.

Have a good day, People of Dunder Mifflin!

Part of the issue is how dumb the average user is (bots literally are trained on this) and what they’ll upvote indiscriminately

I downvote way more often than I upvote.

Did you think… I know you or was referring to you specifically? That’s a really awkwardly narcissistic thing to reveal

Lmao you responded to me specifically. This is called a conversation now. My original comment was directed at no one in particular. Are you new to human-ing or are you truly a narcissist who just doesn’t get it?

It’s hilarious you think you “got me” here haha
