Antiwork

Meta – we need to have a talk about spambots, /r/antiwork.

This sub is, for whatever reason, a prime nesting ground for baby spambots to earn some karma before they are pushed out of the nest (sold) and go on to do their nefarious business. Here's a great example: https://www.reddit.com/r/antiwork/comments/u5oauo/they_couldnt_care_less_because_they_dont_care_at/ This is a spam account. This repost of theirs got multiple awards from people here. The comments are filled with people talking. I bet some of them are other spambots reposting comments from the earlier iterations of this post, because that's exactly what THIS account did as their very first comment: https://www.reddit.com/r/conspiracy/comments/iyagbk/reposting_here_imo_i_always_thought_those/g6bkc01/ That's a word for word copy of a year-old comment in the original posting of that repost thread it replied to.

I see this in this subreddit ALL THE TIME.

If an account:

Was created 3-9 months ago…
Just went went 'active' in the last day or three…
Has an easily searchable reposted post or comment or both or multiples of both…

Please report and move on. These accounts might be giving you the righteous anger brain with their reposts right now but the endgame is always bad news with them. Shilling for corporations, shitty politics, even shitty murderous dictators and repressive regimes.

Or just plain evil scams like crapto pump and dumps or fake exchanges, etc.
