I haven't been to reddit much since the api fiasco. If it's not too much trouble can you point me to some obvious bots so i can get a feel for what that looks like?

here's one i got on r/all:

screenshot of r/all. post titled "Christian on a plane" a search for exact title returns reposts going back to 2 years

I didn't scroll further or opened comment section because I didn't want to overwhelm my brain with ragebait.
