Definitely not millions, and definitely not people. I’d imagine bots outnumbered real users in that forsaken place of a subreddit.

We should start by asking how many of the daily reddit users are bots vs humans to set a baseline.

do you have any evidence that they aren't people? if so, i'd like to see it. actually, i'd like to see any methods of determining if a reddit user is a bot or not.
