I will check every profile. If people have dozens of alts with active, legitimate comment histories within a month of the platform forming, then I commend them for their activity.
When you run a script which randomly generates bot accounts on other various servers- you aren't going to notice anything tied back to a particular profile.
In the case of the proof I linked, the bot names were very generic, and extremely easy to spot. However, its VERY easy to have the bot generate real usernames.
Its also, extremely easy to have the workflow generate actual comments, related to random posts and conversations too.
Lastly- despite my username, this actually is not a bot account. lol.
I... posted proof of vote manipulation.... perhaps, not yet detected here- but, its legitimately effortless to do (and to be extremely hard to detect)
