There was an exploit released a few days back that could make thousands extremely fast (unsure of the number).The two top user instances at this point have 50k new users a piece, and 10 users active, lol.
The relevant instances might as well remove non-active accounts that do not participates (e.g. upvotes or downvotes), I guess it would be enough to remove most of them
Why do you say it’s mostly bots?

Wouldn’t a bot account be more likely to randomly upvote/downvote than a human?
Reddit always had a large number of lurkers who only had accounts to select which subs they wanted to see…
Ah, stupid that people do stuff like that.
I also suspect they’re all bots.
I joined when users were 10k and I didn’t see any increase in engagement including comments and upvotes.
