    Bot accounts farming karma, since karma actually became a useful currency on Reddit once communities started restricting accounts from posting or commenting that didn’t have scores over a certain threshold. Then those bot accounts with “real” looking karma scores can go spew out commercial and political advertisements anywhere else.

    SDV and other niche subs get hit because even without the bots there all upvoting each other, it was already a happy go lucky upvote party.
