That's been happening for ages. I'm sure if you check the profiles you'll find other posts with all the same bots commenting. A lot of lazier ones wait exactly a year to repost, and it's pretty obvious in subs for something like a live service game where they'll be reposting complaints that are way out of date. One in the Monster Hunter sub reposted a trailer for Iceborne which had been out for 3 years by that point.

These are probably the bots that will be paid for creating content too. lol

My favorite reposts were the ones that were only like 6 months later, so they're talking about christmas or r/place as if its that time of year when its the total opposite.
