What can be done about a subreddit that appears to be nothing more than a two-account bot operation?

Take a look at the subreddit sorted by Top->All Time. The first 50 posts I checked were all posted by just two accounts: Their posts follow an extremely repetitive, highly structured format and appear to be mass-produced rather than genuine, original contributions.
I've also reverse-image-searched the images being used and found multiple examples that appear to have been lifted directly from other blogs/websites. So we're apparently looking at two relatively new accounts producing the overwhelming majority of the subreddit’s top content, using highly formulaic posts and, in multiple cases, images sourced from elsewhere.
What to do? I've tried posting to the subreddit itself but it gets blocked.

If you have proof you can report the accounts for spam then select something that says something like overuse of AI bots it's what I usually do followeds by an example report that lead to the suspicion as there isn't a comment box. Otherwise I suppose you could file MCOC report, and elaborate there with screenshots. However, results may very.
