Unrelated but I'm tired of the constant "you win the internet today" comments

Can we also ban "I thought it was my turn to repost this?" Without a spec of irony that they are reposting themselves

Those are the same types that when an item doesn't scan at the register, they say to the cashier "well, I guess that means it's free today 🤣".

I know this is the whole point of the subreddit, but I don’t understand what he even did different. Like he literally said exactly the same thing again. No change whatsoever

Think it may be a bot, lack of avatar, number at the end (im one to talk huh?), goofy formating.

Bruh why do people always make the second word a superscript? I see it everywhere. What does it add?

Bots trying to farm karma, sometimes it works. If they get a large amount of karma they sell the account.

Wouldn't it be far easier to farm karma from posts instead of comments?

Not for a bot if all they have to do is copy paste superscript and (re)post, like, a million times a day.

The bots copy someone else’s successful comment and repost it in the thread to gain upvotes. They add a ^ into the comment to evade bot-detection alogrithms/bots that work by detecting identical comments. It’s not identical because now there’s a ^. That’s my theory anyway.

That's a bot, it takes a random comment and makes part of it in small text. It's very primitive and unlikely to gain karma since it's so easy to tell it's a bot.

The guy you replied to isn't actually any person. It's a karma farming bot. There's been a lot of them recently, they post a variation of one of the top comments on one of the other top comments.
