I’ve noticed we have bots copy pasting Reddit submissions. Is there a method to block them all?
I assume they mean good by ‘generating’ content in communities, but I don’t see a reason why anyone would comment on them since the OP is on Reddit and will never read them.
I know I can block each individual account as I come across them but I’d just prefer to block them all so I don’t see their content at all.
They appear to do the nice thing by adding a line in the submissions about it being an automated submission. Is there a filter for words/phrase found in the body of a submission?
That’s not really how comment sections work, though. They exist all the same, whether the OP is a bot or a human. It’s up to the other humans to use it.
Even if no other humans reply but you, at least you were talking to OP.
And if one human cares, chances are others could too.
