It's been patently obvious for some time that the majority of reddit's "userbase" consists of bots. My guess has always been 75% or more, no less than 50%. Guess we'll find out pretty fast.

The question is how obvious is it to boomers who don't use the site but see their 401ks invested into it. Will that cause them concern? Enough to complain to whomever manages their account? That could have a contagion effect that will effect Reddit's ability to steal pension value through the stock market scam.
