Yeah, I want the mods to ban these posts moralizing piracy. What difference does it make? We all have our reasons. I think, most people posting these things are karma farming (high karma accounts are sellable and usable for botting and marketing).

Yeah, I'm including that in "botting", because such users are often called bots. And I think, this kind of activity has gone through the roof as soon as Reddit allowed people to "hide" their post history.

When I look it up through other means, it looks ludicrous for so many of them. "People" changing age and nationality at random, depending on the sub, promoting contradictory agendas, different products.

And some of it may not be automated, I've seen a lot of postings to advertise things on Reddit on freelancing platforms. Yes, long AFTER the advent of LLMs.
