Reddit

They're all bots. Look at the names. They likely all follow the same weird pattern of nonsensical words.

I get lots of NSFW-followers, who then turn out to have been banned / deleted.

I wouldn't know, because I have not once opened new reddit, old.reddit doesn't show followers, and I am banned anyway so haven't visited the site in weeks.

It's an open secret that reddit tacitly allows bots that generate engagement on the site, so most all the followers are probably just random bots, either reddit-run or no.

I don't even have "online status" enabled, so I don't have follows, but saw someone who have it, and it was mostly girls to promote their onlyfans page or something like it.

And my account have 12 years

I had all that disabled, so I have no idea if anyone was ever following me. And I deleted my rif app on the 11th haven't been on Reddit since, so I will never know.

Yes, all from brand-new, zero-karma accounts with what appear to be auto-generated usernames.

I have no idea how you even find that out. I've been using old.reddit/RiF always and I'm clueless about all those features.

Yeah I've been getting about 1 a day. All clearly devised to be attractive to my demographic.

But also clearly bots.

Not sure what's the best /most fun thing to do with it though.

Edit: all of them have apparently been taken down. So maybe not a reddit-devised scheme.
