    It’s probably not as easy as you imagine for reddit to identify and cleanse all bot content.

      Of course it’s not. Nor do they want to.

      I think the person you’re talking to thinks all bots are like the easy ones in this screenshot.

      Look at the picture above - this is trivially easy. We are talking about identifying repost bots, not seeing if users pass/fail the Turing test

      If 99% of a user’s posts can be found elsewhere, word for word, with the same parent comment, you are looking at a repost bot

        That’s easy in an isolated case like this, but the reality of the entire reddit comment base is much more complex.
