I've noticed that many Reddit users with the username format
Word_Word_Number
(for exampleAbsolute_Bot_1230
) are almost guaranteed to either be a bot or extremely inflammatory -- it's like everything they post is meant to generate controversies.Yeah reddit has a name generator that you can choose from when you create an account and that's the format it uses. Those names are almost exclusively bots and throwaway/anon accounts
Well yeah they even have bot in their username.
It's Reddit's automatic username generation, so either yeah, bots, or someone logging in through Google/Facebook and having a username assigned to them.
I don't get it. They already created a good bot network, but the username part is where they get lazy.
