   A truly load-bearing article that reassures us that Reddit is not astroturfed.

   Of course, AI coding agents, which the author works on, would also never be astroturfed on Reddit!

   You know, astroturfing on Reddit also comes from long time accounts with moderator support.

      I don't think the article is reassuring it is not astroturfed? He studied only a small case, for a brand on the smaller side, and found significant amount of bots.

      If you see a single sheep on an island, it is safe to assume there is more than one sheep living on the island.
