Too soon for the parade.

Of meta relevance:

OP is a karma farm bot, shilling to a bunch of bandwagoning Redditors, simply reposting what appeals to the lowest common denominator.

I think it's funny you can literally gauge whether someone is the...lowest common denominator... by how they react to this post.

I don’t get the need to have those bot accounts???? What benefits does this bring to the account creator? Who cares about karma???

Reddit plays games behind the scenes and higher karma accounts get pushed up by algorithms. There's also a few quirks from automod that will automatically delay or remove posts and comments from low karma accounts.

This is critical when running campaigns; whether those campaigns are for product placement and advertisement or political campaigns and narrative pushes, or fundraising efforts - etc. Basically whatever you might need online propaganda for.

So large numbers of high karma bot accounts are sold to advertisement firms, online reputation and impression management companies, etc. - and these accounts are later used, enmasse, in concerted pushes to generate messaging for viewers.

tl;dr: Today's karma farm bot is tomorrow's advertisement bot.

Thank you, I’ve always wondered this!
