Just checked in on the subreddit mentioned in this post. It’s still getting bot posts in the same style, which get upvoted accordingly and commented on with the vast majority not noticing or caring that it’s slop. Mods still out to lunch.
Likewise, there’s now a post on /r/all (seen using old.reddit, the only way to get to it now) at #10 and climbing with the same style but targeting povertyfinance, a bigger sub (one with a pinned message claiming to be a “heavily moderated subreddit”). If you look at the users, you can see the details of how they create a couple comments in random subs until one of those comments get several dozen upvotes, then go for the viral post. All accounts make a move around 8 days after creation. And it’s working, no problem.
Two bot profiles that just reached this point for comparison/posterity:
Something very similar: the python community is being overrun by AI bots:

Its happening to pypi as well: https://old.reddit.com/r/Python/comments/1sek3gq/i_published_my_first_pypi_package_few_ago_copycat/
AI is taking over posts and people are having issues finding out if things are real or not on reddit and other sites.
