    The amount of obvious karma farming getting 1500+ comments of “engagement” is insane. Just take a brief look on r/all and you’ll see about 20% bait. r/AITA, r/AmIOverreacting, r/PeterExplainsTheJoke, etc all of these likely-styled subreddits are just obvious bots. I don’t even get the point of karma farming.

      I really want to know who keeps upvoting those obviously fake AITA posts.

      My husband beat me for donating $5 to charity, AITA? (20k upvotes)

      I’ve heard of people running it as a side gig. Shady advertising companies will buy your reddit account, the more history the better. I have no idea the price range but I can’t imagine it’s much, because the entire process can be automated at this point.
