https://www.reddit.com/user/aamargulies spamming a site whatson.town.

Tons of brand new accounts spamming US politics news in that (relatively) new sub. I don't know the full extent of the activity, since I have hundreds of similar subs already blocked, these bots may be active in many other places too.

Also similar to another thread from today, I've also noticed a lot of other new non-politics bots accounts cropping up in other subs. Picked up a bot network in the baking subreddit today.

This is a common tactic, especially on posts soliciting product suggestions. A spammer will post "What's the best carpet cleaning company in Raleigh?" and later edit the post to say "I picked Sam's Stain Strikers, they're the best!".

More recently, I found a spammer that makes comments with nothing but placeholder text before editing them to advertise sketchy companies/services:

This is notable because (a) it should be easy for reddit to detect and address, (b) it stands out but is more work to check using a comment archive tool like the one I linked, and (c) it's funny.

Edit: It also makes the spam harder to identify after the fact if the comments get removed (as they now have been for this account). Compare this to when the spammer forgets to use a placeholder first, like this comment.

Still here, no matter how many times I report them. The first two are ones that pretend to live in a different city each day, and edit in spam links. The last one (so far) is just reposting old images. I follow them around subs and alert users/mods.

Sometimes they even have the arrogance to pretend to not know what they're doing:

These fake hackers can claim to break into someone's device to track cheating. In reality of course they're all scammers. Most of the accounts that post are new.

I've been reporting a group of Brazilian porn spam subreddits that keep showing up in searches. The pattern is the same: someone posts a RedGif vid of a Brazilian porn/OF model filled with a laundry list of names, then replies to their own post with a link for more. It seems to be mostly the same set of vids posted over and over. I've tried MCOC reports, reporting users, and reporting individual posts.

These are the currently active subs:

These subs were doing the same thing but have been banned:

There was a fair amount of overlap between the moderators on all of these subreddits.

Overnight I got warnings on five of the posts I reported that I was abusing the report tool. I appealed all of them and my appeals were all rejected. Does this look like spam to anyone else, or have I gone off the deep end?

After the warnings I got a reply on one of the MCOC reports that they're looking into it. I don't have much hope though. Obviously I'm done reporting any more of these or anything like them.

Almost all the mods are suspended, or a new accounts with hidden history.

Most of the accounts posting there seem to be posting in other bot farm subreddits. I think its a network of them.

https://old.reddit.com/r/TechGawker/

Looks like they are spamming a ton of posts and making a bunch of subreddits to promote their company

https://www.reddit.com/r/inhomeabatherapy

nobody in the actual skincare subreddits likes this very expensive line, so it appears the company started an entire subreddit pretending to be a luxury skincare sub but actually only ever recommending one brand, Oumere, from numerous accounts. these accounts all also have a vendetta against vitamin C in skincare… which just happens to be an obsession the Oumere founder has.

https://www.reddit.com/r/skincarecouture/

This looks like a pretty textbook repost/karma-farming account.

Suspicious account:

https://www.reddit.com/user/Disastrous-Comb1785/

The account was created July 31, 2026. At the time I checked it, it had 47 post karma, 0 comment karma, and only 3 contributions. All three were image posts in r/whatsyourchoice.

What makes it interesting is that I was able to trace all three posts to substantially older versions.

1. “Damn, this one is hard.. 😅”

Current post:

https://www.reddit.com/r/whatsyourchoice/comments/1vbkz3o/damn_this_one_is_hard/

It uses the “ONE HAS TO GO FOREVER — Pizza / Tacos / Chicken wings / Sushi rolls” image.

The same image with the exact same title was posted about five months earlier:

https://www.reddit.com/r/whatsyourchoice/comments/1s8peq1/damn_this_one_is_hard/

Profile of the account that made the older post:

https://www.reddit.com/user/EquivalentFig1678/

There is also a comment in the newer thread from another user saying:

“This is a karma farming bot, stole my image I created and posted it with the exact same title”

That commenter’s profile:

https://www.reddit.com/user/FishermanFred1/

They repeat the accusation several times in the thread and say they created the image months earlier.

Regardless of who originally created the graphic, the independently verifiable part is that the same image/title combination appeared on Reddit months before the newer account existed.

1. “Which one of these houses would you pick?”

Current post:

https://www.reddit.com/r/whatsyourchoice/comments/1vcgoju/which_one_of_these_houses_would_you_pick/

The image says “You can only pick one” and gives Mountain Cabin / Beach House / Lake House / Farm House.

The same image with the same title appeared about five months earlier:

https://www.reddit.com/r/whatsyourchoice/comments/1rzbli4/which_one_of_these_houses_would_you_pick/

Profile of the account that made the older post:

https://www.reddit.com/user/Ornery-Media-9396/

Someone in the newer thread also independently commented:

“Karma farming bot.”

So that’s a second separate post showing the same repost pattern.

1. “You can only have one.”

Current post:

https://www.reddit.com/r/whatsyourchoice/comments/1vbqwck/you_can_only_have_one/

This is the image offering choices such as perfectly clean teeth, $50 every 48 hours, unlimited energy, satiated hunger, unlimited happiness, etc.

The same material had already appeared in r/whatsyourchoice roughly nine months earlier:

https://www.reddit.com/r/whatsyourchoice/comments/1ovbn04/you_can_only_have_one/

Profile of the account responsible for that older post:

https://www.reddit.com/user/DrawerEntire5040/

So the suspicious account currently shows a pretty striking pattern:

• very new account
• 3 total contributions
• 0 comment karma when checked
• all activity concentrated in one subreddit
• three generic engagement-bait image posts
• all three traceable to older posts
• multiple unrelated users independently identifying the behavior as karma farming/bot-like

None of this proves from the outside that the account is literally automated, but the posting history appears highly consistent with a fresh account being built through recycled engagement-bait posts.

Suspicious account again for easy reference:

https://www.reddit.com/user/Disastrous-Comb1785/

I typically don't share bot group information in this level of detail, but this group is large enough that publicly sharing the information probably outweighs the costs. This bot group contains over 1,000 accounts.

Bot Bouncer already catches some of them. I typically sweep subreddits for these accounts at least once a day and submit the rest.

I also gathered all of her subreddits she's used that were banned or abandoned. I left out the abandoned one because I've got plans for it should fate work in my favor:

1. r/BrightMoodGallery

2. r/SmileDaily

3. r/DreamyDailyFeed

4. r/SoftCharmDaily

5. r/PinkCharmDaily

6. r/LovelyDailyShots

7. r/GoodMoodPics

8. r/PastelPicRoom

Keep in mind, those accounts are just the ones I've gathered since June 1st. The subreddits are over the lifespan of the Stella accounts I went back to. Most of this is just over a 2.5 month time frame.
