    Well, duh. That just means that 93-84% of Redditors are bots. Bots didn’t know there was a shutdown, so those bots kept slamming reddit. So with that data I now can assume Reddit was only 7-16% human.

          Unfortunately, such detection methods are often completely unreliable. It might be able to detect obvious cases, but it’s no good at detecting the difference between smarter bots and people.

          There’s a guy called upper echelon on YouTube that made a video showing how much social media is actually bots and its terrifying! Something like more than 50% aren’t human posts.
