Reddit if full of bots: thread reposted exactly the same, comment by comment, 10 months later - Blåhaj Lemmy

My understanding of how this works is that that left one is real accounts making real comments, at least in the majority.

Then when the link gets reposted, either by a bot or naturally, potentially depending on the title, the bots scrape the old comments and post them.

It’s content farming. And Reddit is probably okay with this.

It looks like the right are real accounts and left are bots. Your explanation sounds plausible, though.
The left predates the right by 10 months
OP updated the image. You’re correct, the left side is now the older one. So some of the comments in this thread will need to be reversed, but not all of them. Not confusing at all! 🤪
