it’s so essy to make a bot too. And reddit is earning loads through the API so they don’t bother to stop it.
You dont even need api for upvote farming
Its like 3 lines of selenium
If you do it en masse, reddit detects it and sends your account a warning. It’s purposefully built to make you use the API.
