No, but I am up for some boner inducing cell phones.
My estimation: on the main subreddits it is about 90%.
I've never seen it directed at individuals. There are very rare occasions when a bot posts a comment, though not in response to an individual.
I'd estimate that some portion of the ~50% of online bots are engaged at Reddit, and the poll's 15% seems legitimate.
Worst I've seen is mod-supported pro-Israel fanaticism and shilling on /r/worldnews. (So that one can only get relatively honest Palestine news at /r/Chomsky, /r/Palestine, /r/worldnewsvideos, /r/anime_titties, and sometimes at /r/politics .) Reddit has a mod problem, not a bot problem.
That sounds low.

More believable though tbh I donβt see too much of that.
Of course they are completely ignoring communist organizations like actblue buying hundreds of thousands of bots in order to shape public opinion. Otherwise they would have found that over 25% of activity on reddit is comprised of bots, primarily controlled by communist organizations.
communist organizations
ROFL π π π
Oh wait, you're serious π
Do you even know what "communist" means?
(Hint: the American Democrats are less "communist" than Ronald Reagan.)
I'm certainly hoping it gets to 100%, and all that's left of Reddit is corporations trying to sell their stuff to other corporations.
15%? LOL Reddit is ground zero in the astroturfing wars and imo where a vast majority of automated chat bot interfaces came into their own. Gatekeepers, shills n bots oh my
This was flagged on HN as bullshit article (it doesn't link to an actual source, other articles from this blog were also flagged as bullshit previously, probably ChatGPT generated): https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=38700038
HN has more than its share of bots, which becomes apparent if you post something against vaccines or in favor of cryptocurrency.
